The ship was in a lot better condition that the Enchantment that it replaced in Baltimore and that is the only good thing to say about it. The food was not up to standards and the new menu format is not for me. I liked the old menus.

Review summary

We love the smaller ships but it seems as though the food is getting worse each cruise we take.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Easy

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

Food was not good, if this was my first cruise, I don't know if I would ever take another cruise due to the quality of the food. Best food was omelets in the windjammer for breakfast.

Main Dining Room

2 out of 5

Breakfast and lunch were a waste of time eating here, service was slow and the food was not so good.Dinner was well organize and our waiters were great, the food was very poor in quality and small sized.

Park Cafe

4 out of 5

Pizza was good, the signature roast beef sandwich was too tough to eat.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Entertainment

4 out of 5

The headliners were pretty good, the royal singers and dancers were not that great.

Service and Staff

Ship Quality

2 out of 5

I have to give a low rating because of the STRONG smell of oil based paint in the hallways while we were docked in Bermuda, lots of people complaining about that and nothing was done about it.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Standard cabin, made it a little larger by splitting the bed.

Ship tip

Don't expect good food, it has gone downhill.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5

Our cabin was on deck 4, forward. We had to go to the lounge on deck 6 at the rear of the ship to wait for our number to be called. Our friends were in a cabin in the rear of the ship and they had to report to the theatre in the front of the ship. Mad no sense at all.

We were on that ship in February and food was horrible. It was our 21st cruise and worse because of the food.
