Review summary

Overall great cruise. A few issues here and there. I would do this cruise again hoping they have a wider selection of songs and the quality of the food is better.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation was easy.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The food in the main dining room was not that great and the portions were small. The buffet was okay. The pizza not that great. Speciality dining I went to Le Petit Chef and that was great. The Tuscan Grilled was good.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Entertainment

4 out of 5
They needed a wider selection of songs. Kept hearing the same songs constantly. The shows were good.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
The staff was great. One manager upset me by telling me I was the first passenger to complain about almost falling off the bench in the shower. I don't think that was the right approach even if I was the first. Other than that incident, I found the staff to be great.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Nice decor. Ship was always clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Cabin was clean. Big enough to hold all of the luggage along with a scooter and wheelchair. Room cleaned twice a day. Always had towels and toilet paper. Beds were comfortable. I liked that we could turn on the TV and see what was going on outside the front of the ship.

Ship tip

Go see all the shows. Don't be afraid to ask for second portions in the main dining room.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Pure chaos and I had assistance since I am disabled. It was hard trying to locate the bus to take us to the airport. Once we found the bus it was chaotic getting on. Only part I liked was the facial recognition going through Immigration. It made the process easier.

100% agree with you about the food. Most was just blah. Several dishes were outright inedible. This was on the July 30th, 2022 sailing. Food in 2019 on the same ship was excellent.

You and I were on the same cruise. Wonderful that you enjoyed the ports as much as I did! I'm sorry for the issues you had!
