Review summary
The ship, cabin, itinerary, food, entertainment, and ports were fine, but there were many signs of service cutbacks that were noticeable and not appreciated. Dinners took way too long (2 to 2.5 hours), mostly because dining staff were undertrained and overworked. Internet service was so bad they should be embarrassed to offer it at all. Port stops in St. Martin and Half Moon Cay were too short, for no obvious reason. It wasn't a bad cruise (is there any such thing?) but it was definitely mediocre.Ship experiences
