Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
In the sunset restaurant, service was very slow one night. I guess an ice machine broke down by the buffee and there was a tub of ice. It was nasty because everyone was putting their hands in it.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Service was extremely slow one night in the sunset restaurant and we didn't get refills of water. Servers were very nice. Norman, our steward, was wonderful. Our stateroom was pretty clean. There were some areas that could use some improvement. There was a cup ring on the bedside table.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Getting around the ship was confusing. We were on promenade aft. To get to fwd, we had to go up to 9, then to which ever deck we wanted to go. There were children running everywhere and almost knocked me down with plates of food in my hsnd.

Disembarkation

Ship said to wait for deck or luggage tag to be called. Then was told on ludo deck by staff member that as soon as we were done with our breakfast we could leave. Never heard any announcements on last day of when we could leave..
