Review summary

Cruisers will eventually catch on If you keep on lowering service and quality while increasing fares.

Embarkation

1 out of 5
Long and unorganized

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
Your cost saving measures have reduced the food quality and service to an unacceptable level.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Not enough room around the pools

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Entertainment was about the only good thing on the cruise.

Children's Programs

Have no children

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
The service your staff provided was better than could be expected given that there was not enough of them.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5
Not nearly enough sun. Most lounging areas were in the shade. Not a good seat in the theater. Not enough temperature zones or poor use of them caused overly cold and warm areas.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Not enough draws for two passangers. USB outlets should be on both sides of the bed.

Didn't do an excursion. Finally had some good food. Would have rated port 4 or 5 stars if we hadn't arrived so late in the day.
