Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The food was the same stuff served everywhere.....just a little more fluff n fuss in the fancier restaurants. You could have just as good in the buffet......and go BACK for seconds!!!! And few more desserts!!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Lots of fun trivia,,, bean bag toss ,,paper folding Outside areas closed a lot with severe weather. The library a total bust.... Hardly open...no books.. NOT quiet. Couple tables to play cards. Fitness area always crowded but great.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
No real music...Lots of synthesized stuff, magicians,, jokesters. Very loud background music everywhere. NO QUIET areas. No fancy dancers with costumes kicking legs . Stand up comedy that picks on audiences. Operatic singers ruined with background drumming and streaming.

Children's Programs

no kids on board

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Worker staff were happy and helpful. It took 6 days for my room TV to change the menu to MY name and costs instead of the previous tenant. I never did get the complimentary Wi Fi figured out. . I just did it in ports when I got off. It should be free.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Ship very neutral and brown. Needed more places to sit for entertainment shows. Pictures on walls very repetitive and boring.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Nor has small cabins. I was a single person w large King bed. Bed was 12 inches alongside the closet.

Shore Ex is large groups boarding buses and going to photo stops and $$$$ shops. Lots of waiting and lining up and following fast walkers with waving flags.
