Review summary

The ship itself is great. Theres alot to do and its very clean. My issues are with the food mainly. The Windjammer is almost unedible. The pizza place is slightly decent. Main dining food was okay at times but never great. Tiny portions so get more than one entree. Now on to the Bartenders. I would say 90% of them could care less about you. Slow service with zero personality. Nobody bothers to learn your name or what you like to drink. Like i said the ship is great but the quality is no better then a cheaper Carnival. Also we got a. Excursion that stated 3 and a half hours. It lasted maybe a little over 2. Hard to complain about a cruise but if you have other option you should look into it.

Nice to read that although the food was not up to your expectations, you did enjoy the ship.  I have sailed on her a few years ago and thought that she was a fine ship, too.
