Review summary

First time on the boat and it was TERRIBLE!! had to stand in rows to get food. The ship was understaff. Food bowls was not full quickly enough for all the people. Food was not so great. No available chair or tables at the pool area as well at the food. People don't use it for the right purpose

Embarkation

1 out of 5

Standing in long rows and in the Sun. No cover for the people. And no one to tell you where to go and to get staff for first time cruiser.

Ship tip

Rather go on a theme ship . Not a lot of entertainment around the pool or other places. Was hectic busy and there is to many people.

Terrible and still 3 Stars? I must agree with @vivawarren, the staff were superb and it’s not their fault there aren’t enough of them. We were also repositioning but never say any of the issues you mention in terms of lines or lack of seating etc. Agreed, food was very ordinary though.

But I had to stand up for the staff. They really work very hard and are friendly on the cruises that we went. I appreciate all the work they put in to give their best for the passangers. I know not every one will be helped in the way they feel they deserve but there must be some one that do their best. This is really hard work for long times of there days.
