Review summary

Liked everything except on most shore excursions they don't have carts from ship to excursion buss or taxies. The other thing was 3 days in was having trouble walking so asked if they had a scooter I could rent. They said they did and it would be $350 for remainder of the cruise (7 days) I told them I could have rented one on shore for the entire cruise For under $300. So I chose not to rent it and said this will really limit my enjoyment for the rest of the cruise. They didn't care.

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

No complaints on food. Need much patience at buffet, just like any buffet anywhere, some fellow cruisers are rude and pushy. Hard to avoid though because of the wide selection and quality.

You choose not to rent the scooter, what do you expect the cruise ship to do?
