Review summary

The cruise was nice, but not the best I've been on.

I thought the ship was too big. Got lost so often, it was ridiculous. things were hidden so well that it took me until the last couple of days to find things that I wasn't aware of. Each time I had an issue, I had to wait on line about a half hour or so to speak to guest services. On the very first day, my husband lost a piece of his camera, it fell into the air hockey game (don't ask). After asking every day if it was found, about the fifth day, we got angry enough that it was surprisingly found.

The specialty restaurants were good, but the main dining room wasn't great. I thought everything was too salty or too much curry. The music was so loud, you couldn't have a conversation.

The entertainment in the main theater wasn't too my taste either.

The comedians were good as was the illusionist show.

I agree about the food. Same food in every restaurant except specialty ones. We never saw our Porter except on day one. Not impressed thought if we paid more for a better cruise we would get better service. Not the case here. Beautiful ship, great layout but staff not attentive or very nice. Waited 35 minutes in Savor to get waited on.

Some people don't like the big ship

But maybe she didn't know it was too big for her liking? Seriously, people, stop attacking others' reviews because "they should have known". It makes no sense.

You know when you booked that the ship is big.
