Review summary

We felt the staff was not what we were used to. Seemed unhappy. I've never had to get the attention of the wait staff to get a drink and when I finally got to order a drink he forgot about it.

Embarkation

2 out of 5
The process was good but to get on the boat, but due to a malfunction we did not leave the dock for 24hrs.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5
Other than the cruise director we felt the staff really did not want to be there. Lot of them seemed non engaging.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Ship seemed to be in need of a refresh.

Cabin / Stateroom

The "king" bed starting separating in the middle.
