Review summary

Bermuda was beautiful and fun. New York was a lot of fun. Ship was lovely and excursions were quite enjoyable. Hidden charges for a lot of activities onboard and staff was not very attentive. Food at buffet was the worst I have had on any cruise, and I have been on around 20 cruises.

Bathroom was smaller than most. Balcony was smaller than most. Steward rarely came around and cleaned.

Eat in the dining room as often as possible. The buffet upstairs was terrible and normally out of several things.
