Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The Palace...it was just okay..service was a bit poor The Crossings...much nicer although same menu as The Palace just nicer surroundings and better service Le Bistro..very good, food was delicious and excellent service Buffets...okay...3.5 out of 5

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Lack of evening shows except for music sets or TV Type game shows which we didn't attend...I don't watch them at home so no interest to me on Holiday...activities were basically trivia quizes or making paper origami figures..

Entertainment

1 out of 5
only 1 crap comedian that we left after the first 10 minutes...he wasn't the least bit funny or entertaining...there was only 1 other show "Rock me Tonight" it was just okay...

Children's Programs

basically because we didn't have any children with us

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
3.5 would probably be my rating...no special effort beyond what was expected

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
The public area in The Atrium "Stunk" the whe time from people smoking in the Casino...it really is a problem.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
the wasn't anywhere to put our cloths once unpacked...only 4 extremely tiny draws under the personal safe in the closet...we had to use the sofa as a dresser...so absolutely no way could 3 people share that cabin...the shower however was fantastic..room itself could have been clesned a bit better.
