Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Got bored with food after 10 days. Buffets same food daily, some changes, but most speciality items were not real good. The grill had same choices every day, no variety. Ice cream same daily.

Bayou Cafe & Steakhouse

4 out of 5

Steak was great, every thing that came with it was cold and tasteless.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
After 10 days the happy was leaving food staff. Our room steward, Jeana was happy always, always a hello to us, answered questions, room always neat. Waiter Sol Veronica was also a happy lady, and Astroid from Prue. One serious item, crew all crew need to speak better English. Even the caption was hard to understand over load speaker.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Windows always dirty, in cabin on balcony both inside rail and outside rail, very dirty. Buffets windows dirty, one area had broken wood, paint peeling, rust. Stateroom, carpet wearing out. We were told by tour lady ship was refurbished, not evident to us.
