Review summary

Overall I loved the cruise. The shows were fantastic and the staff were great. Made a few lasting relationships with several of the staff. All were very nice. The food in the restaurants were really good however the food in the buffet was not so good. I was disappointed that all the hot food was always cold. Also very hard to find a seat. The food out at the grill by the pool did not offer a veggie burger or turkey burger so I was always forced to go inside while enjoying the poolside. Not a happy camper. Also I feel you should offer more vegan options since there are a lot of vegans in the world today and they should be labeled. Vegans love to cruise too. I did purchase the 500.00 credit towards another cruise. I would recommend this cruise to others. Alvin the cruise director was awesome.

Bingo is way too expensive and the payouts were way too small. The amount of money collected and the amount of money paid out was unsatisfactory. Bingo needs to be less expensive.

Good for you! Not perfect but you made the most of it. Some ships are better than others for vegitarian dining. There are several types of vegans so it may be a while before cruises catch up on that front.
