Cagney's Steakhouse

Ordered filet mignon, the steak tasted like it was an old piece of meat. Couldn’t eat it.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Pools are very small for the amount of cruisers. Their infinity pool was so small, basically standing only.

Infinity Beach

1 out of 5

The infinity pool looks like a jacuzzi

Entertainment

Seen the Donna Summer show, that was really good!

Children's Programs

Didn’t bring kids.

Service and Staff

Our room steward was fantastic! I do feel like they didn’t have enough staff for the bars, seemed to take forever to get a drink.

We had a great time on the Prima. Food options were wonderful. We got snacks from buffet but never ate there. Local and Indulge are better options for lunch and late night snacks. So sorry you did not enjoy your cruise.
