Review summary

Overall very good...wait staff in dining room were often inattentive.; shows in the main theatre were good; embarkation/ disembarkation process were excellent; ship is very clean and very well maintained. food selections very good; martinis were short pours; beware of people wheelchairs...they can cause problems when they don't pay attention to others...my foot was run over by one in an elevator with no apology by the "driver."

i enjoyed my cruise on her and loved the food and entertainment. I didn't have any problem with the dining service but other minor things went wrong. Looks like they corrected most of them.

He might have been waiting 15 mins just to get into the elevator, & maybe didn't feel your foot? nobody takes the stairs even just one level, it's very sad..... when my legs worked I loved taking the stairs on ships, now it's hard to even go bc the whole trip is waiting on elevators, full of able bodied people.........
