Review summary

Wouldn't recommend, the staff was very nice, and the ship was beautiful.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Very long and tedious, but it was thorough. Our cabin was changed last minute after our bags were already tagged with the original cabin number. It took hours, lots of complaining, and explaining the same thing to about 5 people before we were able to get our luggage out of lost and found ourselves.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
The food was terrible, not good quality, same thing everyday for lunch and breakfast. Not a huge selection compared to other cruise lines The drink package cost more than the tickets to sail. $69 a day, per person in the same cabin. Which meant if you're rooming with someone who doesn't drink alcohol, you both are required to purchase a drink package for about $414 total.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
The activity's, definitely catered to an older crowd. Not very fun or entertaining for folks under 50

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5
The set up was neat, there was a terrible smell coming out of the toilet the whole trip. Not once did we get the breakfast in bed that was included with our stateroom.

Ship tip

Stick with Norwegian or Carnival.
