Review summary

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Fitness center re-located to terrible closet of a room. Small room with low ceilings and minimal workout equipment. Evening music trivia was fun and very popular.

Day Spa and Fitness Center

1 out of 5

Awful. Fitness center has been relocated to center of ship in basically a closet. Ceiling so low you hit your head when using the ellipticals. Not many windows either and minimal workout equipment.

Jogging Track

1 out of 5

Useless jogging track. Basically more like an obstacle course with deck chairs, tiki huts, and people in the way. Also water from hot tubs spills out in places along track and makes it slippery.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Shows were ok.

Children's Programs

Did not use

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Did not use dining room. Windjammer service was excellent. Room stewart was good and very quick at cleaning room each day.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

As mentioned, fitness center relocated to tiny room in middle of ship. Lots of cups and plates lying around. Diamond lounge is extremely tiny snd wasted space. Casino has very small/tight aisle ways. Toilet in stateroom did not flush and had to constantly call maintenance. Internet was slow.

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5

Awful room. For being a junior suite, there was less storage than a normal balcony room and no walk-in closet like typical junior suites. Small bathroom same size as a balcony room. Balcony in this junior suite room was big but had 8 foot high glass which limited the view and on days at sea massive amounts of wind made it unusable.
