Review summary

This cruise was a solid 7. The bar service was lackluster and the food was pretty to look at but boring in flavor. The ports were all nice for a quick walk but you do tire of the tourist stuff after a while.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Bar staff didn't seem to understand how to take orders and deliver drinks. Repeatedly, the most populated bars had the fewest staff throughout the entirety of the cruise.

Ship tip

check the hot tub temp before you get in...you could get a cold surprise! Get a drink before you sit down so you have something for the wait.
