Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

We didn't use the formal dining room, but the food on the buffet left alot to be desired. There was quiet a bit to choose from, but taste and quality weren't up to par with other ships we have been on.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

All of the staff we encountered were very friendly and helpful. Casino staff were also smiling.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5

We had a balcony room on the rear of the ship, 7th floor. There was no access to stairs or elevator in rear of ship. We has to go to midship to go up or down, which the way, was 30 rooms we had to pass BEFORE we got to our room. Also the balcony on this floor was huge but you were extremely exposed to your neighbors on either side and you had a large protrusion that didn' t allow you to look down at the water. You only had a view of the horizon. The elevators that overlook the water were great!

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5

The rooms were very small compared to other ships. The beds were actually rounded at the bottom to allow you to go around them, which in turn, made the beds "short". When you are 6'4", most of the body is hanging off the bottom. The shower and bath were tight for even the smallest person. Ample storage for clothes and such.
