Review summary
Food was terrible. The specialty restaurants were worse There was nor-virus on the boat which they did not tell us about for 3 days. The windows on the stateroom were dirty on the first day and were not cleaned. There was no entertainment to speak of. They had the crew try to do a show. lol Days at sea with no entertainment or anything to do but not try to stave from the bad food or get sick form the virus. Do no eat the seafood!

Ship tip
Be wary! Took two hours to get feed until we found a good server. She was a big improvement. Norvirus was on ship very quick but they did not tell us about it for three days. An honest employee told me when I asked what was going on
Ports of call
San Pedro (Los Angeles), California
Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

So, blame the messenger? Hard to be a " Happy Camper" when you are hungry for good food lol Amazing food? You cant take the smoked salmon that was on the buffet everyday and wrap it in rice and call that Sushi? If the food was so amazing where were the specialty restaurants empty ? Interesting that what was served for dinner was rehashed in some manner and on the buffet the next day. Entertainment? Repurposing the people that work in the art gallery to do shows is not quality entertainment. I was not alone with these complaints I spoke to many people who felt the same. Maybe these "happy campers" have some kind of ties to the cruise line? I have had great food on Celebrity and acceptable food on Norwegian. Spend your cruise dollar elsewhere

WOW. I have to say that I'm really surprise to see such a negative review. My husband and I have been on over 10 cruises. This was one of our favorite so far. I totally disagree about the food. The food was simply amazing and we always found lots of activities to do during sea days. The ship is an older ship but is still very very nice. We absolutely loved spending the Holidays on this ship with lots of activities. I have to agree with Davonavo with so many complaints not much would satisfy them. Nor virus was on the ship but was very well controlled in a fast and effective way.
