Review summary

The one thing I had a hard time with: The abomination of what they did to the paintings in the Venetian dining room!! They completely destroyed the character and looks. It is called the Venetian room, not the "bad acid trip" room!!!!!

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Not much wait time for the counter. A bit disorganized for boarding (not the ship personel, the port)

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Good food. The buffet was well "stocked". A bit repetitive though. Cagney's was amazing as usual. Los Lobos: take care or leave it but that's just me. La Cuccina: Very good.

Garden Cafe

Good variety available daily. A wee bit repetitive after day 6-7

Our steward, Paul Navarro, was amazing. He was very attentive and efficient.

Ship Quality

Showing its age a bit. A tad awkward to access the dining rooms due to ship's design.

We had Paul too! Ship under went a major refurbishment in 2016. Most people think what was done to the artwork is just terrible. Still can't get a straight answer as to why it was done.
