Review summary
Worse experience we have had cruising, out of around 10 cruises. This seemed to be a 'shake-down' cruise, with inexperienced staff, and poor maintenance. Only $100 dollars rebate PER CABIN as given for missing Mexico, which meant we were at sea from Monday evening to Wednesday morning. We had to wear coats in the cabin for the first 3 days and have 2 douvets on the bed as it was so cold due to the uncontrollable a/c. Customer Service desk was overwhelmed with complaints, and I waited there 45 minutes to check my final account.Embarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
La Pergola Restaurant
Dinner had two fixed settings only, no own-time dining which we prefer. Dinner organisation was ok, but breakfast was a shambles, with wrong orders, food delivered out of sequence, toast like leather, eggs going hard due to waiting,
Ice Cream Bar
No free ice cream at the buffet, only with meals in the restaurant. What penny-pinching!
Onboard Activities
Casino
Only poker against the house, not against other players. This means the odds are bad so I did not play. Same with the blackjack, but that is normal.
