Review summary

the room is dusty and stinky and expect to spend at least 1.5 hours at the restaurant as the service was extremely slow.

Be sure the skip the Orchid Garden for Asian food or you will be very disappointed.

Also, this is the first cruise line that don't clean up the room every day and we only get 3 towel animals on a 10 night cruise.

Overall, the price is reasonable and the food was great. There were not too many kids activities on the ship. The average age on our cruise was 44.

Our room was 8100 and the smell was pretty bad. We requested for a room change and of course we didn't get one.

Service and Staff

you won't find too many staff with a smile on the face. You may not even get a room clean up every day.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
You can clearly see dusts every where and the smell is the first thing we notice when we walked in to the room. The view is nice but there are people walking back and forth during the day outside of your window for maintenance works.

Ship tip

skip the Orchid Garden restaurant and everything else is just fine.
