Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The food was good. It was very hard to get reservations to the speciality restaurants, we were unsuccessful for the entire week.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The comedians were funny, but the other shows were ok. We wished the stores on the boat were open earlier than 4:00pm. The trampoline and gyroscope are not open for long periods of time. We wished they followed through with their art auction.

Service and Staff

1 out of 5
We found the staff on this particular cruise to be very rude. A few people were friendly and helped , but the overall staff was not going out of their way to help. Several employees were bickering amongst themselves.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5
Bathrooms were not clean (toilet paper all over the floors) and the restrooms had a smell to them. The Aloha Cafe always had messy tables(dishes were not cleaned off). The stateroom was very nice with the balcony. I did not find the decor to be glamorous, it was just average.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
The balconies were good size. The beds were comfortable. Our TV did not work for billing purposes or viewing excursions and they could not fix it.
