Review summary

let me start with they told us to meet them in the wrong place ! ports times changed daily! food was not good in most of the places food was very BLAND they gave you to eat! the duty free and gift shop over charge twice as much if not more.and not a lot of things to choose from. exchange rate was the same for the whole 11 days. tv was a few shows shown over and over everyday. internet was not cheap. ELEVATORS were not marked clear how to get to all DECKS! port times were very short. very limted things to do everday. trip was setup for MUCH OLDER GROUP OF PEOPLE! staff was good. and ship is kept very clean. have to pay for soda and have to wait a long time to get it. and if you don't carry you card with you 24/7 you will not get it or anything else.

nice room always kept clean. with a good view from the bed. tv was small and in a corner in the way. no tv to watch. one movie is played over and over.

Ship tip

if you are old you are in the right place. and if you like plain food and stewed things.

Were you actually on the right ship? Your standards and taste in food must be questioned! One doesn't travel on a cruise for duty free shopping, it is just an extra service provided. You need to carry your card for access to your stateroom, how did you manage that???

You obviously have some problems with your taste buds and your eye sight.... The food is fantastic and the signage is very clear! FYI did you have a daily schedule??? There are so many things to do on board, perhaps your company needs upgrading??? This, is a cruise, and not an 18-30's holiday!!
