Review summary

A terribly maintained stateroom detracted from our cruise. The buffet was quite disappointing and the food in the dining room always arrived cold. This was the fault of the ship, not the crew - they were wonderful.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Wonderful - everything went so smoothly

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
The buffet was terrible; not enough choices and food frequently ran out but not replaced. Dining room food always arrived cold. The staff was great though.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
The Fitness Center was poorly laid out, but adequate. The pools and hot tubs were nice.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Stage shows were just ok. However, the bands performing regularly in bars, etc., were wonderful.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Other than incompetent Guest Services staff (who gave wrong answers to important questions, everyone else on the staff was great.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
For a small to moderate size ship, the layout was good and everything was kept clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5
Disgraceful: An AC vent was not properly attached, so it jutted out from the wall and could have slashed an ankle. The bathroom vanity was loose on one side - not properly attached. There were scratches on a switchplate. The stool at the desk was poorly balanced, and unuseable.

Ship tip

Don’t - take another ship.
