Review summary

Not the best cruise I've ever been on but not the worst.

Embarkation

Slow, and should be updated to go faster and more streamlined like Royal Caribbean.

Thanks for the review. People's opinions matter good or bad. There is a lot of folks on here that don't like to hear the bad or pretend it's not happening. 👍

Where did you eat on the ship? If it's the buffet no surprise there..what about guy burgers? Steamers? The main dining? The specialty restaurant are always delicious. I always eat at least 2 times

I was aboard with my Husband celebrating Our Pearl 30th Wedding Anniversary. Our room was NOTHING as described. I explained that we're celebrating We received a suite with an obstructed view. The balcony continued to flood. No light access.

Enjoyable trip.
