Review summary

Not enough outside free space, food is not healthy enough, gym is too small, sport complex is really just another playground for children.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Not sure what to say here, embarkation was normal, get your passport, ticket and go to the ship, if you have no ticket, it is ok, customs agent will look you up from the manifest.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

Outside space on decks has very little room for walking and running, running track is a joke, too narrow, be careful not to run into sunbathing people, you will have to run between them, I did not even wanted to try that. Gym is too small for such a large ship, 5 people in the weight room and you will not be able to get in. No showers in the gym. Punching bags are there but no hooks to hang them. Sport complex is useless, not sure why they call it that, there is no pull up bars, it is just basketball court full of children and some climbing obstacles course with some kind of ziplines and wall if you want to break your neck. Food in the buffet is terrible, there were times when I could not find any healthy food there. If you are a vegetarian or just like veggies with your meat, your choices are very limited.. Will not go on this ship again.
