Not an experience I wish to repeat. Unorganized, not clean
Embarkation
1 out of 5
Utter confusion. Took 3 hours. For some people with priority boarding, it took longer!
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
Meh, at best.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
Not a lot to do. I did enjoy the dance classes. The games were silly. The pools were too deep to stand in, but too small to swim in. The gym was really good.
Entertainment
3 out of 5
Bizzare best sums up the nightly theatre experience. One night the show was even called Bizzare.
Service and Staff
2 out of 5
The staff was friendly and appeared to be hard working. But as much as they appeared to be cleaning, nothing really got cleaned.
Ship Quality
1 out of 5
The "yacht club" forced everyone else to mostly use one set of elevators.
The marketplace buffet was disgusting. Multiple times, I reached for a clean plate from the stack, and got a greasy, unwashed plate. The clean napkins had crud on them. The tables were always dirty, even after being cleaned. The chairs were just filthy, in need of shampoo.
Cabin / Stateroom
2 out of 5
The size and layout of the cabin was fairly typical. But I had to sit at an angle on the toilet, because it was partially obstructed by the sink.
There was a layer of dust on everything, and it never went away, despite being cleaned every day. The telephone was covered in something. I had to clean it myself, just to make required call after watching the safety video.
My.sheets.were.never.changed.during.the.entire.16.night.journey!
Ship tip
Don't dismiss other people's negative reviews, thinking that just because they had a bad experience doesn't I will have a bad experience, I'm not that fussy, they had unrealistic expectations, blah, blah, blah.
I had read/watched the reviews and thought it couldn't be that bad. It was worse.
