Review summary

Boring, activities were awful and limited, shows lackluster, food unimaginative and they served the same things, not enough places to get drinks, missed a port of call, missed our return flights due to heavy fog and they were unwilling to help with new flights or finding hotels to stay. Just one disappointment after another. Many things didn’t have to be bad, such as linens with holes in them or stains on them

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Good presentation but still bad food in the dining room. Tough cuts of meat, bad sides

They charge you for Pilates, offer so many windows workshops, big game room, not what I came on a cruise to do

Lacking is the nicest way I can say it

Really? They didn’t help with rebooking airlines or finding you a hotel? Could you call from the ship when you were stranded at sea? Did they give you WiFi time?
