Review summary
This was my first cruise. After hearing all the great stuff about cruises I was looking forward to a FABULOUS time.
We met our room steward once! Had to call guest services for everything. Finally on last night when we did not receive luggage tags my boyfriend had it and went down to guest services.
Dirty plates left in hallway for more than 6 hours.
Two mornings the coffee machines of the Lido deck (where everyone goes for breakfast, were not working and/or no coffee cups. People were walking back and forth to find a working machine.
We had a premiere balcony room. The mattresses on the "king" bed separated every night waking up to sleeping on box spring.
Fun host forgot about a trivia event leaving room full of guests waiting for 30 minutes until the host for next trivia came in. Go figure, host forgot and was in port.
The early show on last night was canceled due to technical difficulties after auditorium full of guests were waiting for over 30 minutes.
NOT the experience I was looking forward to.
I am not letting this experience shy me away from trying again. We booked our next cruise on the Vista, Havana room. Maybe service will be better.

Pizza was really good. Probably best food on the ship. And I'm not one who LOVES pizza.
