She is a good ship with great atmosphere. She has a few faults but why let that spoil your holiday and then post a negative review. Look for fault on any ship and you will find them. So why bother.

Looks like you usually sail RCI - water slides, bumper cars etc. That’s not what PnO do. Research first.

Saying the food is poor and bland doesn’t tell anybody anything, or saying the ship is dull There needs to be some context behind this to make your review credible What was dull? Were you expectations too high? Where did you eat? Did you complain at the time?

You must be a very picky person with expectations above your station. This is a fine ship with excellent food and a friendly atmosphere. It has a high rating. Suggest you stick to resort holidays
