Review summary

There were 8 of us on the cruise, one couple for there first cruise.We all talked about how good the food would be and it was not, I think I rated it a 3. The crew were great the caption was always so pleasant and got us all saying bye bye...There was a respiratory virus going around the ship and an awful lot of elderly folk so we were all nervous of getting sick.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

we were a table of 8 at # 47 in dining room.we were disappointed in the food in the dining room so often we ended up at the buffet or having a hamburger outside on the deck. The soups were always manly to salty broth, the main meals steak, ribs were fatty, the sea food chewy...did not expect this to happen

Explorer's Lounge
