Review summary

The cruise was much too crowded, there were long lines everywhere, long wait for the elevators, impossible to get a seat by the pool, the buffet was a zoo. The food was more cafeteria food than what you would expect on a cruise. The buffet had about 10 different kinds of pizza, hamburgers and hot dogs and one of the choices in the dining room was meatloaf. The shows were quite good, however I found the theater uncomfortable, no leg room. The ship itself is beautiful but in general, the cruise was a disappointment.

Every cruise ship has a lot of people! With over 4,000 passengers this massive ship made the Carnival ships look like toys. Sure, there were a lot of people at the buffets at noon time, but you have the same thing at a mall. Go slightly earlier, or later. With the buffet opened 20 hours a day, you can pick and chose your own time. Some people just can't be pleased here. Jeez!

The Divina is a gorgeous ship. But it is better to sail on her when kids are in school. Kids sail free ups the number of children considerably. However, when they are in school, most of the kids will be stroller victims. Much easier to deal with

I don't know what type of cruises these people go on that have so many negative posts about the Divina. One person wrote a terrible review but after looking at their past cruises they cruised 5 times on the Divina
