Review summary

Found the days at sea long and boring. The entertainment doesn't suit everyone. Couldn't wait to go home after the days at sea.

Embarkation

2 out of 5
Very busy

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Buffet was boring, desserts were not nice tasting at all. Dining rooms a step up, not too much though

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
If you're not a drinker or gambler, there's nothing to do. Watched a movie around the pool, couldn't hardly hear it because of the background noise. All up 6 days at sea, 6 days of absolute boredom. Whoever is in charge of entertainment should be sacked

Entertainment

1 out of 5
They were ok, violinists were good, a couple of the solo singers were good

Children's Programs

Didn't take my children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Waiters, room steards etc were great

Ship Quality

2 out of 5
Could do with new decor, VERY outdated

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
No problem with cleanliness, just needs a facelift

Ship tip

Go with someone else with better entertainment. An actual movie theatre would be great. Just something to do

It sounds like you need a different type of vacation.

Sea days are great for relaxing, reading a book, doing a crossword puzzle or sudoku, watching the ocean go by, taking a nap or enjoying the pleasure of doing nothing, which many have seemed to forgotten or never learned.

Maybe you should reconsider if cruising is for you.
