Review summary

We booked this cruise last minute to celebrate my husbands birthday. We had to fit it between chemo treatments. I loved the time we were able to spend as a family on board. Food was excellent. The service was ok. I only say that because one person would give excellent service only to have someone else be mediocre. For example, we went to dinner one night and I cannot have certain drinks due to my diagnosis and cannot eat nuts. I asked our waiter if I could have some juice and he told me “juice is for breakfast, have some soda or wine.” I tried telling him I couldn’t drink those but ended up giving up because I didn’t want to argue. I then asked for bread with no nuts and he said “why?”. That was just on experience.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

This was not pleasant as an employee began at another employee who was trying to help a passenger. Instead of listening, this employee yelled to the other “ no, just stand right there.” That was absolutely uncalled for. And definitely should not be done in front of passengers.
