Review summary

We were disappointed in the overall service (lack there of) on the ship as well as the quality of food and beverages.  We had to flag down waiters to get drinks and we also experienced very slow and not-so-friendly service in the specialty restaurants.  The onboard entertainment at the pool was poor!!  It should be a party atmosphere but the live music was not conducive to such.  The ports of call were AMAZING - especially Croatia and Turkey.  I would recommend this itinerary but not this ship.

Size was typical cruise ship, ample storage, comfortable bed, excellent shower. Our toilet had to be looked at three times as twice it wouldn't flush and once it overflowed.

Ship tip

If you want on board entertainment, book a different ship.

Sorry to read that this ship did not meet your expectations  I hope that your next cruise does.  Not everybody wants loud music by the pool so I think the ship plays music somewhere in between.  For a more party atmosphere, perhaps, try a Carnival ship. How unusual to find lackluster service in a specialty restaurant. Thanks for posting your first review here.  I just wished that you had a better time.  Cruises cost a lot of money.
