Review summary

Ports were good, but the ship I did not enjoy. I felt like I was at an adult care home

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

Food was terrible, when you cut the chicken it was like sawing a brick, matzo soup could only take one bite, when my sugar was dropping I went to the Garden to get some juice and was told no juice after breakfast, only flavored water, that had artificial sweetener...not good. No real flavor. When asked about the food I was honest and one comment made by a maiter d was to go to a specialty restaurant for good food.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

The activities were more like senior home activities, now a lot of seniors were on board but Sodoku every morning on 8 x 11 paper with pencil, and do it in the atrium as an activity. No string quartets, the bands had the songs perfect to the nite but their heart was not in it.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

My room steward was excellent as well as restaurant staff. I walk with a cane, was alone, and only 1 day was I offered assistance in the buffet ... so 3 trips for a plate of food, drink, dessert .

Ship Quality

2 out of 5

I was led to believe I could walk into the bathroom with a small step...no! The step was steep, no safety bar by the door to stabilize yourself. I hurt every time I went to the bathroom.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Cabin was ok, bed was good with foam cushion, coffee maker was brought to me. Steward was great, if he had to be late he would share.
