Review summary

This was my 50th Birthday present and to be honest was supposed to be the trip of a lifetime, as we have only cruised in the Med so was so looking forward to this cruise. Our last was Royal Carribean, will never cruise only with them again. This was like a butlins adventure, had no class, nothing special, so being my amazing trip - it wasn't

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
Food in the evening was bland boring and had been sitting for ages before it reached the table. Not impressed with the queues at breakfast, no matter what time you planned to eat. Food was like canteen food, which not at all like our last cruise, very disappointing. Definitely put on no extra pounds

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Pools were way to small and for the amount of people on board ship, I could not believe that yoga consisted of 8 mats!! The morning I went to yoga, top floor was closed because of wind. By the time I had figured out that the other entrance was through the toilets in the spa, the 8 mats were used

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Dancers brilliant, singers not so good. The music during the day was only fabulous. But serious problem in the Disco at night. No matter how many times you asked the DJ for different music, all you got was spanish or getto style. A real shame because there were many different people who asked for other music. There seems to be a political stance with these two types of music, and as i love to dance was very disappointed with the music, and the rudeness of the DJ

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
The lady cleaning our cabin was fantastic. All the rest of the staff were ok, not overly friendly

Sounds like maybe you aren't a cruiser. I'm sorry you had a bad experience.
