Review summary

The ship was clean and very spacious. However, the staff was remarkably unfriendly and not very accommodating. The gym was very nice, but could have more equipment that are female friendly like the inner and outer thigh exercise machine.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The food was decent, but again, the dining room staff was very slow, rude and unfriendly. As a result, I had most of my meals at the buffet.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Children's Programs

3 out of 5

My 7 year old son had a great time at the kids club.

Service and Staff

1 out of 5

Staff not as friendly and nice as some of the other cruise ships, such as Royal Caribbbean, Celebrity and even Carnival. Staff needs to be trained on how to treat passangers well and how to smile, etc.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

good amenities on the ship and very clean and nicely decorated for the holidays.

Cabin / Stateroom
