Review summary

even though ship is now in europe crusing, it still has the hawaiian theme (which is ugly and tacky)

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

again, some things were very good, the food was better than most cruises I have been on, nice variety of food items and the dining rooms were nice with plenty of specialty options. waiting for an open table was 30 - 60 minutes (average 45 min.) for the freestyle "eat when you wanna eat"

Entertainment

5 out of 5

albeit, I only went to 2 performances on a 14 day cruise, because the free style dinner option made it hard to coordinate seeing more of them.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

wasn't knock it out of the park, in general dining experience was poor (consistently). Long waits for water to be refilled, long waits for courses, and just not the same as great experience with the other 6 cruises on various cruise lines

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

all things minus the decor (hawaiian theme) was good. very clean and nice layout and size.

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5

stateroom nice, but way too small. especially the one small closet that a couple needs to share. very difficult to hold clothes for 2 people on a two week cruise. bathrooms were nice and fairly large.
