Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

Some of the food was good. Some was tasteless. Breakfast dining room food was small portions, dry & the staff was not friendly. Dinner in the dining room was good. Had a 8:15pm reservation & didn’t get seated until 9pm. Was given a complimentary bottle of wine for the wait, upon asking. Only one ice cream maching on the entire ship & there was an attendant making extremely small (kid size) cones for everyone. Very annoying that adults couldn’t get a decent portion of ice cream.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

Attended one comedy show. Nothing else was on itinerary that my husband and I were interested. We are very adventurous people, but the activities were geared for the 60+ crowd. i.e how to control knee pain, arthritis, improve your posture, knitting, etc. my 16, 17 and 18-year-old teenagers were bored out of their mind! No teen club, they had a 1am curfew and there was no activities for them to entertain themselves, other then childish activities.
