Review summary

We have been on over 30 cruises and were a little disappointed with this cruise.

It took over 2 hours to board the ship. Which is unusual. This is not the usual case. No reason was given.

The food was disappointing. The shrimp for the shrimp cocktail and lobster tail were previously frozen. There was not a mini refrigerator in the cabin. All of the other ships we have taken had one.

Inside was ok but balcony railing and glass was never cleaned.

Ship tip

We had a balcony at the very end of the ship with an extra wide balcony. The lido deck was directly above us. It was noisy throughout the night because people would move their chairs etc. ALSO the railing and glass of the balcony was dirty all the time, was never cleaned.

Take into the aspect that this review was done by someone who has cruised over "30" cruises. Two hours to board. Ok what time did you get there? We're there any Coast Guard inspections going on? Shrimp and Lobster previously frozen. Lol If the mini fridge was going to make or break the vacation/review. Maybe you should have consulted someone prior to booking the room. But you already know that.
