Review summary

Lower your expectations and you will not be disappointed. We expected a better class of treatment.

Embarkation

1 out of 5

Lack of organization, no guidance, chaos and confusion

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

Buffets were adequate, the main dining restaurants (Savor, Taste and Manhattan) share the same kitchen. This means the same menu, with limited customs. Rubbery steak, and cold food. Not what we expected

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

Fitness center was great and a saving Grace. Go carts- sub par

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Great entertainment from Footloose to Elements. One of the best part of the cruise.

Children's Programs
