Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

The food? Please. Dont ask. Just plain poor. Even by lower standards, the food as nearly tasteless. The breads were ok. All meats are pre-frozen and cut paper thin. In fact, almost all items on the menu are pre-frozen.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

OK.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5

Good child program. My kiddies liked it.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Ok, looks like they begin to realize they are on a lower quality ship, and start to act that way.

Ship Quality

The ship needs extra signs to show you where the buffet is and extra staff to guide you becuase of the bizarre layout.
