Review summary
Where do I start? Having been on 23 cruises, this ship is by far the worst design I ever encountered. Most ships, after the initial boarding the crowd tends to spread out. On this cruise we felt the crowd the entire trip. The layout just seemed to have everyone in the same place all the time The cabin had the toilet on the left, the shower on the right and a tiny sink that was actually mounted on the counter top inside the dressing area,
.With the anytime dining, we waited 30-40 mins. to be seated, the staff was not friendly at all. Seemed like they just wanted us to eat and move on,
You needed reservations for all shows, and several times our reservations were "lost" and we were turned away. There were 8 in our group and we were all disappointed. Many other cruisers experienced the same and worse problems. The pre-paid drink tips was a rip-off. Drinks were hard to get unless you went to the bar to get them. They had upchare items on the menu in the main dining rooms and their specialty restaurantts were Ala-carte. (40-$60) I could go on but since I will not cruise with them again, why bother.
