Review summary

The cruise was very nice with the exception of the food. The food could have been better as far as quality. Breakfast was the best part of the food choices. The deli section was second best as well as pizza. My father and I had the seafood that you have to pay extra for and that was also good. The dining room food was awful, the butter was spoiled and my mother's chicken was like rubber.

On another note the cruise director and staff were great. The entertainment was also good.

For a new ship it looks refurbished and needs to be updated.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

The cabin had a leaky faucet and someone came to fix it. Once they left it kept leaking.

Ship tip

Do not have breakfast in the buffet area, go to dining area as it is less hectic.

Too many locals trying to sell you stuff and do not go for all inclusive beach package as they tend to charge you for extra items. When you try to get all you paid for they do not service you.

I thought breakfast was the worst part of all the food. Other than blue iguana. MDR food was always great

I would have to say if all the cruises we have been on. This one was the best and I can't wait to go on the horizon.

We went back in march and everything was great. Like the cruise director. The lunchtime delights were great at both the Italian restaurant and the Chinese/ jap restaurant. The BBQ while your on sea day only was also great. I agree with the pizza. The lines were forever long and it wasn't that great. But diner each night was great
