Review summary

I'm used of other cruise lines where for dinner even if you don't eat in dining room they serve the same food in buffet area but this cruise line doesn't do that. Food got very boring after the second day! Sad to see there was no Thermal Spa on this ship nor a sauna just a "SMALL" steam room that the only way you could use it was PAY to have body work done in the SPA!!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

When on vacation I don't want to dress up nor pay more money to eat better food!! The buffet was ok but not great!

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

Fitness center moved/remodeled and made very small in rear of ship for 4200 people to use on this ship and only way to use the "SMALL" steam room was if you paid for work in the hair/body salon! Then this automatic gratuituy of 20% is absolutely rediculous!!

Entertainment

Ship Quality

2 out of 5

This ship has no coverings to close either pool area so during cold/bad wearther, which we had the day at sea, people had to either be in their rooms or on the mall areas on 5/6 which was crazy!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

My room was awesome but balconey was always in the shade so disappointing I couldn't use excepet for the first day getting on the ship!

Ship tip

Hope you have nice weather the whole time because there is no pool coverings on either pool in the event of cold/bad wx! Just disgusted with this automatic 20% gratutity!!
