Review summary

Ship was a bit old, but the food and service was fabulous! The servers everywhere couldn't have been nicer, more helpful, and I loved that always used our names!

Nice cruise. (except for the cruise crud that half of our people caught)

Service and Staff

Saul, the barman at the Lido Bar, JoJo, the host in dining room and Roy, our drink server, as well as our other servers were the best! They were always attentive, always helpful and made the experience one we will never forget. Thank you!

Ship Quality

1 out of 5

The ship was a bit old but it was fine. There were so many sick people on the boat. 3 of the 6 in our party became seriously ill! One ended up in the hospital. Was concerned they were loading that boat so quickly after we left. No way could that boat have been properly cleaned and disinfected!.

Wish I had found the extra drawers under the bed before the last day! ;o)
