Review summary

Always heard cruises were great. Food was ok, but nothing to write home about. Entertainment was fair at best. Ship seemed very crowded for its size. Everything on the ship seemed like a sales pitch. Would not do this again.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Plenty of customers, not enough workers to check them in. Waited in line for 1/2 hour to check in.

Cruises are great, just not for everyone. Dollar for dollar though you just can't beat them.
