Review summary

Cruise was ok for younger people...especially if they don't care about quality of food and just want quantity...The mega ships is not for us...maybe it comes with age and not into staying up late partying...we did it in our younger years...

Embarkation

4 out of 5

We boarded after 2pm and was fast and no problem at all.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Food at dinner was bland and tasteless...buffet breakfast and lunch was ok...We ate sushi on the last night at The Japanese restaurant,was passable and reasonable,people ate mostly at the hibachi and enjoyed watching their food being played with before served...not my style !

4 out of 5

4 out of 5

Cabin was well kept for the age of the ship,some mold in the shower area.

Ship tip

We have been sailing for over 40 years,cruises are not what it used to be like everything else.The quality of food served is garbage,the new cruisers has nothing to compare.The specialty restaurants has gotten very expensive and can cost more than the cruise itself.My advice is just go to have fun and don;t expect anything else...all these cruise lines are interested in is you spend as much dough,even if you can't afford it.
