Vetlover don't go on people's reviews. Go on the thought that you are having a great vacation and getaway. I just read these reviews for chuckles. You will always find negative reviews for what ever you book or where ever you go.

I agree. The organization was terrible and they were completely understaffed, which meant they were all overworked and it showed because you could tell they were not happy. Buffet is a disaster. No organization at all. People are pushing and shoving to get to food. They need queue lines to solve that problem but the logic of separating the plates (behind you not near the food) and the silverware (random spot every time) is just maddening. Same food every day. I talked to about 20 people that sailed on the Divina and they said it was nothing like this ship and that they were appalled at the service.

I agree with cbelc2. I've been on Divina, Freedom, and Escape and found the room size as well as bathroom size to be very similar throughout every cruise line unless you upgrade your room to a suite or greater.

I was on the Divina. The room was no smaller than on any other cruise line. Was this your first cruise?

Are Europeans somewhat smaller than Americans as the bedroom, closet and bathroom to small for American market? Not that it's only Americans sailing from US.
