Review summary

It sure looked as nice as our other 6 cruise ships but it all went downhill from there!!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

The food was horrible and the menu selections boring. We seriously had a choice of ham, turkey or pot roast one night. The veal and lamb were like leather The steaks were all prime rib just cut differently and I've never been served 1/2 of a crab leg before as an entree!!

Entertainment

1 out of 5

If we heard "O Sole Mio" one more time I would have jumped ship! We were excited when we saw so many pianos for some fun "piano man" kind of entertainment but IF we ever saw somebody sitting at the piano they were putting people to sleep! Most of the time the pianos were empty (though we could see the intended musician sitting in a corner drinking and chainsmoking)

Service and Staff

1 out of 5

We have never been told "NO" so much - or "I can't do that" - or come back later, not to mention "we're out of that". I'm talking about normal things like diet pop, daquiri mix and registering for events.

The ONLY thing great about the cruise was our cabin steward!!
