Review summary

The dinners were terrible and being an Italian line I was expecting much more! 1 clam & no sauce on linguine. 3” square chicken w/campbells soup for parm. One 1”cube of meat short ribs & 3 chunks of fat. Lasagna was 3” square/1” tall & if you wanted more (it sucked) there was a charge. Ridiculous! I supervised inmates in a prison who cooked better!!!

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

The poor waitress did nothing but apologize for the food , not many waiters around the pool getting drinks for you, don’t fall for that drink package included sale - you have to drink 10+ a day to break even

Ship Quality
