Review summary

A cruise is always a fun vacation. This was more subdued. Not a lot to do. Very crowded. Older ship. Younger crowd.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Dining room food wasn't as expected. Tough steak the first night. Buffets were over crowded, very noisy, and staff not as accommodating as expected. (didn't ask about refills on coffee, juice, etc)

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

The pools were nice when you were able to get in them. Both, the outside pool, and the one inside by the solarium, were very crowded. Watching the belly flop was fun.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Shows were good. A little bored with the juggler.

Children's Programs

did not have children with me

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

The waiters were very good. Room steward not too friendly.

Smaller ship. Always a lot of people all over.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Smaller than expected, bathroom smelled. rusty fixtures.

Ship tip

I'd rather pay a little more and go on a larger, newer ship.
