Having been on thirty plus cruises, I must say this was below par.

Review summary

Could have been better. Not comparable to other cruise lines for the same cost.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Excellent except having to be called by groups to board and processing paperwork.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

Service was poor. First day took over 30 minutes to be acknowledge and get a glass of water in the dining room, an officer finally bought us water and found a waitress. Buffet line has same food almost everyday. Lines go both ways and hard to navigate and are closed frequently.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Pool to crowded to get in.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Only two main shows unless you want to see game shows or comedians.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5

Dining room service slow. Staff does not seem very happy. Room steward efficient however no extras such as towel animals any day. Neither compare to other cruise lines.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Ship clean and well maintain but has very poor compartmentalized design. Children have to even walk through casino or go to another floor to go from one end of the ship to the other. Ship rather difficult to navigate.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Clean and comfortable, somewhat small. Balcony has very poor design with extended metal deck blocking view.
