Review summary

This was my first trip with your cruise line and i would not return to it again. I have cruised on several other cruise lines and did not find your ship, service and rooms to be satisfactory. The food was not hot at all I I am a caterer and know that food has to be at a certain temperature at all times and i did not find that on your ship.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The dining room was the only place your meal was hot. The buffet was alright needed more selections and the food was not up to temperature. They kept running out of ice on the ship in the buffet.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

there was not enough activities on the ship I went to origami and the small place they had the activities were full and cramped.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

The shows you had to pay for them. However i went to the comedy show that was free and he was great. We also sat the last night free show with the crew members that was good.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5

I took my 16 year old and 13 year old grandson and they enjoyed them.

You seemed to be addressing the cruiseline in your review. The cruiselines do not read this site. This is just for passengers not any cruiseline.
