Review summary
This was my first cruise. I'm 59 and I was among the youngest on board. Not many peers to hang with. The food was horrible. I can't wait to get off so I can eat a good meal. We had to eat in the steakhouse at $60 for both of us to get a decent meal. They say their pizza is award winning (best on a cruise). Trust me....no way. The cheese is bad, bad, bad. I'm from Phila and that's NOT a good pizza. I don't eat a lot of meat. So I ended up having Fettuccini Alfredo almost every night. The only good dish the chef made was his pasta with tomato sauce. My boyfriend is a chef of 40 years and will eat a wide range of foods. He's been on 3 other cruises and thought the food was very dissappointing. Won't sail them again. I starved!!!!!!!!! We met another couple and they were equally frustrated. I'm sure the masses are good with it but I've grown up around quality and have high expectations. It was a waste of money. But the service is impeccable and the staff terrific. Get a better chef. Offer more quality options. And don't call your steak sandwich a Philly. It was not!!!!!!!!!!!Embarkation

I was shocked at their pricing. What a rip. I get weekly massages due to a car accident. I go to a specialized professional. A one hour massage was $50. On the cruise they wanted $250. Yeh right.....
