Review summary

My favorite part of the cruise was meeting and getting to know other people on the cruise.  My least favorite part of the cruise was the food in the main dining room.  We sat at a table for 6 and every one of us did not like most of the food.  For example we had a shrimp cocktail  and when it arrived we were amazed.  There were 4 shrimp in every one's dish and the shrimp were about as big as a quarter and there was no red sauce on the shrimp.  Most of the fish dishes smelled fishy and had to be sent back.

Our waiter was terrific and took back all of the food that he was asked to.

Every time we turned around there was another fee.  When we left the ship for an excursion they asked us if we would like to BUY a bottle of water.  Every cruise I have been on has given the water for free.  I have bought many cases of water at home depot at the price of 16 cents per bottle so I know that when they were charging $2..00 per bottle we likened that to highway robbery. A regular size bottle of diet coke was $3.00

Dubai was ok. I certainly would not recommend it for a vacation. There was nothing to do. We did find out that they had movies in English so we went to a couple of movies. We booked and excursion where we rode a camel and had a really super ride in a 4x4 that took us over a wild trip in the desert. Those 2 things were the highlight of our trip. Dubai is primarily just building after building after building. The hard rock cafe had great food and music.
