Review summary

This was the dirtiest cruise ship I have been on, and I have been on many.  Stains on my cabin carpet and couch, the common area bathrooms were filthy by 6PM and NOT checked during the evening.  I had to ask for clean glasses. 

The service in the main dining rooms was consistently inconsistent.  Staff was willing but VERY untrained.  Dirty plates were passed in front of my face, wrong entrees were served on a regular basis.  Knives were handed blade first.  Tea in a pot was served with a saucer for a lid"could not find a lid".  Servers were unfamiliar with the menu.  The charges for soda etc. were inconsistent- some were free others not. The casino and the deck above and below reeked of cigarette smoke as smoking was allowed in the open.  If you have allergies or asthma do not do this ship- there is no escaping the smoke odor- it was present from the time we got on the ship and. . the casino was closed.  Breathing in these areas was difficult and became a problem for all in our group-even those with no respiratory issues.
