Food is usually a highlight on a cruise. Not this time, other than the delicious soup. I can’t have gluten so I’m limited and was disappointed there were no gf buns, which I heard they had and were good.

Fine but long lines. Took an hour to get to ship.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining

I’m Gluten free and there were no buns, just dense old school white tasteless bread. Cucina was the best for pasta. If order ahead the chef makes your dinner gluten free. Soup was the best. Nothing else was special.
Onboard Activities

We enjoyed the thermalsuites and heated ceramic chairs in quiet atmosphere. Pool chairs were all claimed by 8am. Not enough shaded places.
Entertainment
3 out of 5
We really enjoyed the Singers and dancers in theater for 70’s show. 80’s rock was a little too dark and haunting but well done. R rated comedian was really raunchy and crude. Singers around ship were enjoyable.
Service and Staff
3 out of 5
I wish they would clean the drawers between guests. Crud in cabin drawers. The spa didn’t give me the key to get back in on the first day so I got locked out when I went to the adjacent room for water. Waited 30 minutes in spa for appointment. Hostess gave me wrong nights menu to order gluten free from the night before so nothing was ready for me. Server at Guys Burger didn’t seem to know what I was asking (shouting cuz it was so loud) when asking for gluten free bun, which they didn’t have, so I ended up with tasteless dense bread. Then he went to put regular fries on my plate but I needed the separate fryer. I had to ask 3 times and he didn’t seem to know what I was talking about. Very frustrating and disappointing. A reviewer had mentioned great gluten free buns for burgers and deli but they never had them.
Ship Quality

They worked hard to keep ship clean.
Cabin / Stateroom

Beds were pretty comfortable. Nice to have a couch. Closet size was good with a good amount of hangers, including extras others had left.
Ship tip
Keep your expectations low and you’ll have fun. Don’t go spring break week.
We walked off and it was easy. Only problem was waiting 20 minutes for an elevator. By the time they came to my floor they were full. Eventually squeezed in.
