Review summary

ALL OF THE ISLANDS ARE NICE BUT THEY ARE NOT VERY WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE. THE BOAT WAS REFURBISHED BUT THERE IS NOTHING TO DO IF YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE ACTIVITIES.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

FINE

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

The Venetian food was not very good but Aqua was Excellent!! The Garden Cafe was fine for the first 3 days then the food went down hill quickly. It was all re-used food and it was disgusting. The Specialist restaurants were great except for Los Lobos did not like the food.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

There were not enough activities on this boat.

Entertainment

2 out of 5

The entertainment was geared toward one ethnic group or one type of music and for 1 maybe 2 days that is fine but for a 10 day cruise hearing the same band play the same type of music was annoying!!

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

The best part of the boat was the staff. The bartenders & waiter's in the Atrium were the best!! We had one Waitress by the pool her name was Irene, she was absolutely amazing!!

Beautiful Island. However you must tell people if they go over the walking bridge close to when the boat leaves that they may get stuck on the other side if the bridge opens up. We were freaking out thinking that the boat would leave us.
