Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

Service in the dining areas was extremely poor!! Lido deck servers were rude and yelled at people dining. Officers aboard the ship didn't care. Very poor service!!!

Lido Market

1 out of 5

Service and food quality was terrible!!! Picture the worst McDonalds that you have ever been to staffed by an all non-English speaking staff. That's what you will get.

Piano Bar

5 out of 5

The dueling pianos were the highlight of our evenings aboard the ship. Both performers were great and very much in-tune with the people surrounding them. They were excellent!!!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

The evening entertainment was good. The piano bar singers were fun to be with.

Guest Services / Excursions

2 out of 5

Guest services could care less about your concerns. The staff there was equivalent to ghosts.

We always enjoy the art galleries and the art auction. No one manned the art gallery, there weren't any art auctions. Art gallery had approx. 10 paintings.
