Review summary

It’s just the little things. Food, service, entertainment all were below standard. Don’t clean and vacuum during a busy sea day. Do that at night. Dodging vacuum cleaners was ridiculous. Have your wait staff be more efficient. They are working hard just seem under staffed and not friendly. Daily entertainment was terrible. Table tennis and arts and crafts. Really. Lesson learned. Carnival for fun. Princess for luxury.
