Review summary

Favorite part was dining in the Chops's steakhouse and Giovanni s Italian, wonderful food and great friendly service. Our inside cabin was falling apart, absolutely horrible mattress and hallway to our room smelled like urine. Our sweet cabin steward did her best to lay foam on it but didn't help.  We went to the front desk to ask if we could possibly be moved to a different cabin we would have been willing to pay not the supper another night but they were very cold and unfriendly about dealing with the problem.   In many areas of the ship there was a distinctive sewer smell, like methane gas. Needless to say we will not be going on that shampoo ever again.

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
Main dining room food was served cold, not at all like we've had itn the past. there was confusion with putting us at our assigned table and they ended up moving us to another location which was fine. we ate there one night and the other nights choose to pay for our dining.

Entertainment

One of the best highlights was watching a band that was exactly like journey, kudos to them !

We had the same issue with our mattress, it was a rock. Our cabin person put 2 toppers on it, but that didn't do much.
