Review summary
The "freestyle cruising" really does not apply to this ship. If you would like to eat at one the restaurants, you need to make a reservation even though they say that you are able to eat there without one. To get a good time, you need to book the morning of the day prior as times fill up fast. Two couples were turned away while we were eating dinner, because they said that they could not accomodate them even though 5 of possibly 25 tables were taken. The food at the restaurants were alright. The seemed to try to have a lot of different foods that was not individually prepared well. The only thing that was basically able to have for lunch was a cheeseburger out on the back deck. The entertainment is good and there is always something to do but not much adult entertainment. They had a comedian on board that only had done one show which catered to all ages. Even though the rooms were quite small, they were not too small that you felt trapped. The bathroom rooms maximized the space that they had. There were no clocks on the stateroom or near elevators so unless you had a watch or asked someone, there really was no way of knowing. The staff was hard to communicate with has many of the staff did not speak English well. One of the staff members that was working at the ice cream shop was not able to understand what a lady wanted on her ice cream as far as flavor and toppings are concerned. Overall, this is a good ship and would recommend it.Ship experiences
