Review summary

First cruise. Overall was disappointed. It was very bumpy the entire time so not sure if it was a bad time of year to go. For the price paid the room, drinks, food, lack of free wifi, and restriction to "specialty dining" was a disappointment. Would not do a cruise again.

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Both food and drinks were pretty bad. Repeat of bad meals for 10 days and the one specialty place we went to was the same. Drinks, even simple ones were also bad.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
Too windy, bumpy, and cold for pools so not enjoyable. Activities were repeated for 10 days. Bingo, deal or no deal, musicians.

Staff were friendly

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
A fee of 300 plus for staff on top of the price is a lot in my opinion. I didn't know about this fee when I booked

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5
Small, crowded. Hard to upgrade after taxes and extra fees that get added
