Review summary

Never again! I want to be able to relax and enjoy. There was nothing relaxing about constantly being hungry and tired.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

The food quality is absolutely horrid. Not just the low-quality ingredients, but also unsanitary practices and improper preparation and seasoning. The food is gross. Fast-food would be better.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

Everything is small and low-budget. Same 5-6 people running all of the activities. If you are not trashed by noon, then you'll be very bored.

Horrible. We were treated like cattle. We had wheelchair passengers and we didn't get any care/empathy. Horrible experience!
