Review summary
Food not a good as previous cruises, in fact selection a few times was minimal for foods I like. Too big of a ship for me. Walking the halls to get to room were obstacle courses with all the little motorized chairs, walkers, etc. Very poor internet coverage, wasting half my minutes trying to fully connect or reconnect, and VERY slow.
Too much sea time for me. Loved the ports, though wish there was another day in Tauranga, NZ. The ship is showing its age. Tried to have a small group meeting but ship staff were not accommodating to this, in yet the LGBT group was allowed. With all the empty space it would have been simple to allow, and we didn't even want it posted in the "Patter".
Not a lot of interesting shows or other day classes as compared to prior cruises, many night shows not family suited. Did enjoy the Ukelele at sea group. So many showed up the group had to be split due to only 30 ukuleles on ship.
