Review summary

Most of the cruise was excellent! Food however was pretty awful!

Embarkation

2 out of 5

At Rio de Janeiro embarquatio was extremely long and seemed disorganised at times. Even a long queue to get on the ship after checking in! Stood for ages in 30 degree heat so not a great start!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

Sorry but probably the worst food I gave ever had on a cruise ship. Main dining room was a disgrace. Every night on our table of 8 at least 2 meals were sent back Once all the mains were cold to be replaced by cold again. The waiters were all very embarrassed. Head chef should be replaced!!!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

We thought it was spotless and surprised it is now going in for a refit!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Clean and lots of storage. TV not working all the time!!

Ship tip

Watch the hygiene as many people didn't sanatise their hands and we both picked up colds!!
