Review summary

Giving this a bad review mainly because of the horrible entertainment in the theater and the lukewarm/sometimes not such good quality food at the early seating in the dining room. The entertainment in the theater was TERRIBLE........totally inappropriately "undressed" dancers at the early show, the females had NOTHING except a G-string up their behinds. The comedian was truly a "has been" - - after all the bragging they did on him. BUT - you get what you pay for and the price was right for a balcony room. All the crew members were great and we met some of the nicest people. The ship was very clean overall. The BEST ENTERTAINMENT was a band that played outside the casino every night and they were fantastic. Karoke was fun - a lot of good entertainers there too. I always leave a note for the Captain of every cruise we take and have always received an acknowledgement............not this time!!

Buffet food was okay, dining room evening meals were always lukewarm.

Onboard Activities

Typical stuff - karoke, band outside the casino, etc. etc.

Entertainment

1 out of 5

We actually walked out on the second night entertainment......too much flesh showing on the backside of the girls (and it was an early show to boot with young kids present). The comedian was a "has been" - not funny at all. Especially for an older crowd when his monologue consisted of making jokes about having to wear diapers, blah blah blah.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

All crew members were friendly and did their jobs well.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Spacious compared to an inside room. Cabin stewards did a good job - it's the first time, however, that the room got cleaned in the late afternoon. I suppose they are overworked and assigned a lot of rooms to clean.
