Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Food was very good. Also a lot of vegetarian/vegan/healthy option. Buffet with the outside area was better for us than the MDR.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

This cruise was full of kids/teens. As there is not much to do for them they were all in the pool/pooldeck without supervision. No parents and no lifeguard.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

We enjoyed the shows and the cruise director is realy good.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Most of the staff was very friendly. Some people were very rude to them.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Pooldeck was chaos with a lot of trash/empty plates. Pool was nice in the morning but awfull in the afternoon.

Cabin / Stateroom

Ship tip

Even if you sail in Europe; do not sail in July. It was terrible.

Be aware; almost no taxi's at the port so take the shuttle to the city or walk 1hour. We prefered the other stops.
