Review summary

Ship was clean. Room was excellent. Food was average. Very cheap meals consisting of pasta and rice. DO NOT prepay your gratuites for Select Dining. What a rip off! You never have the same wait-staff and you are an inconveniece to them because they know you will not be tipping. They slap the food down in front of you and walk away never checking back to see if you are satisfied. The buffet has great pizza and ice cream, but the rest of the food is the same everyday. There is a pasta station, sushi bar, salad bar, stir-fry bar, limited dessert (maybe 4 choices) and a few hot items. Very disappointing. The beverage station was always clean and stocked. There was plenty of seating at the buffet and they removed dirty dishes quickly. The entertainment was rather good, but the activities were quite limited because we were in port 4 days in a row.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Food quality and portions were average at the most. So many dishes were rice, pasta, risotta, etc. Seafood almost non existant. Ordered a shrimp pasta dish and it came with 2 shrimp! Lobster night is a joke .... you will get 1/2 of a lobster tail.

Took a private tour of the bay and went lobstering. Beautiful bay with many lighthouses and interesting sites.

Went to Acadia National Park. Beautiful place. Must see Cadilac Mountain. Had a full lobster lunch. Most delicious meal of the trip (of course it was an excursion and not on the ship).

Took the fishing trip booked by cruiseline. Amature crew with poor equipment. Many broken rods with knotted line. Caught some fish, but they were rookies!

Went to St Martin/Bay of Fundy. Most knowledgeable guide. Breathtaking sites of the bay and underwater caves. Delicious seafood chowder. An A+ trip!
