Review summary

It was nice to cruise out of NY and see the statue of Liberty from the water. The decor and layout of the ship was different but I liked it. The food was pretty good. When you are cooking for 4000 for 11 days it got a little repetitive, understandingly. Was very disappointed with the condition of my room but continued to tip as I know the cabin stewards work very hard. Overall, there was enough to do to make it a fun time.

The MDR was very good and the steakhouse excellent. The buffet was good but the desserts were lacking. Deli sandwiches were real good and loved Guys hamburgers.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

I did enjoy keep busy with the various activities. Played a little Bingo and Casino. Groove for St. Jude, Massage, Bars, Football in the Heroes Bar. Also, activities preplanned by a FB group. Would have sat around the pool more but couldn't find a chair.

Entertainment

The stage shows were very good. Great voices. The sunny violins were outstanding.

All were very pleasant and took good care.

Ship Quality

I liked the layout of the ship. The common areas were being cleaned constantly so you can't fault the crew if a few things get missed.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5

When I entered my room, I immediately knew I would be wiping everything down. Everything was dusty like it went unused the previous cruise. I found cereal bits on the floor along with 2 pills. One pill was big and orange so should not have been missed. On the shelf was a handful of sunflower seeds. I cleaned for a bit and decided I should be out for the sail away party so called the desk and had the housekeeping manager to come so I could show her. She agreed and took a picture and said her crew works very hard.(They really do) She asked if they could do a redo so I left the cabin. It wasen't much better. Still looked like a kid sneezed on the picture window with his mouth full. Rugs were not vacuumed as the floor had black fuzz like from mens socks .I was glad I brought slippers from the hotel because it stayed the way the whole time. They could have been stains. When unpacking I found a BIG pink bra in the drawer.
