Review summary

It was ok, not the best.  I had issues with the food, everything had seeds, nuts or mushrooms, onions, coconut. Esp the rolls they either had poppy, sesame, rye or something else on them, when asked for plain said have no more although the lido had plenty not the dining room. .  also lots of lamb and we don't eat lamb but the pool hambuger and hot dog & chicken place was very good. the pasta bar was ok too.

The ship is old and should go into drydock instead they bother passengers to come into cabin and maintain a/c and were on balcony scraping grinding and varnishing the railing.  Every day they had an area on ship closed off for maintenance. 

The shows were good and I liked the digital computer lab.

 

We definitely like royal Caribbean a whole lot better.  Probably won't sail on any of them anymore as my husband smokes and after Jan 4 no ship will have smoking on balcony except Costa and we don't care for them. He doesn't want to get dressed in the morning and go up to the pool bar to smoking area so we are done with cruising.

was handicap room has a ramp out to balcony and then down on balcony. tripped over it several times, asked for another cabin didn't get it.. Balcony was very narrow had places of rust on it. chairs were mildew or moldy badly.

Ship tip

yes u can board earlier and can choose disembarkment time up to 10:30am which was VERY nice to stay in room til then as had late flight. another good thing is the crew served at buffet on lido the whole cruise so less sickness was passed around..I really liked that...
