Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Fair at best, food selection was limited. We tried to get into the noodle bar/grill every night and could not because place too small and did not accept any reservations. Drinks were fine, just depended on what bartender you had.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

Gambling....seemed no one was available to help on the machines. The pool situation was difficult as only one pool for over 4,000 people was available......it was quite small. One other pool was being painted that week and unavailable. They recently shut down the children's activities, all of them and many parents were very disappointed, as well as their children.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

The comedy bar was okay, not great but not bad either...chairs were extremely uncomfortable and it was a bit difficult to order a drink.

Children's Programs

did not cruise with children, but parents were mad that they didn't have the children's programs going.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Everyone on staff was polite and friendly.

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5

On deck 8, don't remember the room number. We had a balcony cabin and the balcony was extremely small...........extremely! We were out of water for about 2 hours once.
