Review summary

Nothing major was wrong with this cruise, just not as spectacular as I had hoped for.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Long wait. Confusing registration.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Buffets were crowed, hard to find tables at times. Choices of food was good on the buffet. Main dinning room was good. Food was tasty and presentation done well, however wait for food was long. Cadillac Grill was disappointing. Food was cold and wait for food was long. Service was so so. East meets West was nice, but food was not special, and wait time was long.

Cadillac Diner

3 out of 5

Wait was long for food. Not crowed so I don’t know why we had to wait so long. My fries were cold, my dads were over salted. Milkshake was small and not very cold.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Hard to get to do. Pool was cold because of rainy weather. Shops limited to high price items, not many choices. Did not do fitness center.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Theater was Good, but not outstanding. Seemed geared to an older crowd and even though I am one of those, I did not enjoy it much. Game room came in handy but tables were small. The conservatory was nice, quiet. Deck game were not applicable to me.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Most were very nice and helpful. Some seemed confused when bringing food to table, and got orders mixed up. Loved the lady with the hand spray at the restaurant.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Good maps and signs although I did get turned around a few times. Clean overall. Seats in Hollywood Studio were not always in the best shape. One sat so low I could not get up another was detached from the back and I almost fell on the floor.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Good room. More than enough space for items. Connecting door with family was nice. Balcony was nice to sit or stand and watch the views.

Ship tip

Be prepared to wait in lines and walk a lot.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
System was much quicker than getting on. No lines. Just wait for your time and go.
