Ship needs to be updated, food was ok, entertainment area and main pool deck area is very small and needs to be updated. The dishes would be left around in clusters in the cafe and pool desk for hours

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5
The small closet and toilet didn't flush properly

Ship tip

Expect another $3000 bill at the end and think twice when getting on and off the boat with booking tenders and lines

SUCK! We didn't get a tender booked right away so we couldn't get off until almost 2:30 pm and then we had to wait in line to take the gondola up which was over 2 hrs. My parents had to go back because it was too hot. Once we got up there it was almost 6 pm we had inky about 1 hr because we were concerned about getting back down. Needless to say, we had to walk down because the lineup for the gondola would have been another 2-plus hrs. Thank goodness my parents didn't come because my sad wouldn't have made it down walking

Booking tenders and the lives to get off and on was very unorganized and not conducive for the hot weather and long lines, please were passing out.
