Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The main dining was a very good experience. The buffets were ok but out of a few items. Had to wait before the replaced items.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
The comedy show was great. I the spa felt like a time share presentation. The spa kept tiring to up sell all kind of services. Things that should be free (steam-room) there was a charge to use it. I like the steam room on cruises. But I was not willing to pay extra to use the steam room or sauna.

Yes, the ship was clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Comfort was ok, size way too small for the price we paid. I will never do an interior room again. The different in the balcony room and interior was major in sizes and room. I would like to see under the beds cleaned more. I always find object lift under the bed from past quest.
