Review summary

The whole cruise was bad from the beginning, they messed up our beverage package (took over an hour to straighten out), buffet laid out in huge square, kids had to go thru casino to get from one end of ship to the other on 7th floor.  The photographer blocked stairs for pictures, food in main dining rooms were strange combinations (sliced veal with tuna sauce, shrimp & mashed potatoes in red sauce, etc. ????), getting off early (self carry of luggage) a joke (1 1/2 hours as opposed to 45 minutes when we used to put our luggage out the night before), we got off the elevator & was routed down the hall, thru the casino, down another hall, around the ship back thru the casino down the hall again & off the ship to another long hall round & round like cattle to customs. Very little of the staff were pleasant and smiling (exceptions were Weaver, Jenni Lynn, and one other main dining room server) or friendly.  I will stick with Celebrity & Royal Caribbean in the future.

Cabin / Stateroom

The cabin was pretty standard, but no drawers except under the couch, closet was to short to hang pants by the cuff had to be folded in half. The balcony was much smaller than we are used to.

Ship tip

No charge in Taste, Savor restaurants but no frills either, no escargot, no surf & turf night. You can pay extra for such things there!!!
