Review summary

I was not impressed with the food; need to step it up a notch. Too much chicken, need to serve more fish. The overall cruise was good. The entertainment was excellent especially the new generation band. The piano player at the magnum was very entaining. The most part of the crews that I enjoyed was the enterainment, I was not board I was fully entertainment.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The bed head was next to the cabin entrance of the crew stairs. There were constant banging of the door and running up and down the stairs. When we were at sea one morning we heard like a container was rolling back and forth and banging constantly at bed head of our cabin.

Ship tip

Spinnaker lounge is too small for dance and trivia game show

I had the same thought when I went on the Jewel a few years ago... I figured they would serve more seafood and it was a whole bunch of chicken made a million ways
