Embarkation

Quick and easy

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Food could have been better, windjammer food was better than the sit down meal, which most of the time was over salted. Dessert taste like cardboard.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

It was not disable friendly at all. My disable father almost drown in the hot tub. And the lifeguard just stood there and laughed. While some of the people in the hot tub jump to help. The lifeguard on this cruise are just a vanity.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

It’s basic. I guess it’s worth it because it’s part of the cruise.

Service and Staff

1 out of 5

2nd higher up Guest services needs work to work on interpersonal services. Also need to higher trained lifeguards not just vanity people to just stand and do nothing. Not the best experience when there’s an issues on this boat.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5

Need to have accessible showers for disable people, who needs a bigger bathroom if they are not in a bigger stateroom m.

Cabin / Stateroom

Ship tip

Not worth it. If the staff don’t know how to do their jobs.

Just goes to show, can’t please all the people all of the time. Another comment on here on the exact same cruise, loved it and gave almost everything 5 stars.

You should've booked an accessible stateroom.
