As experienced cruisers (18) we were very disappointed with this cruise from check in to the end. Waited in tent outside of ship for check in. Check in staff was very inexperienced and uncaring for people who had already completed on-line check in and boarding pass. Ship was in need of new decor as it was very out dated. Live entertainment was uninspired and did not hold our interest. The two dance parties were held in confined spaces which was not conductive for cruisers participation.
The quality of food at dinner was not that great. While on most 7 night cruises you usually have one night of prime rib and lobster this cruise you could only get lobster for an additional charge, as was the case with escargot and all your better cuts of beef. After 9 pm food became very limited to include ice cream and coffee. You could purchase coffee and ice cream at Seattle Best and Ben and Jerry's. As most of our previous cruises on other cruise lines had foods other than Pizza, hamburgers and hotdogs available after 1 am. On this cruise no foods were available from 1 am to 6 am in public areas.
The activities for teenagers was limited in time and things to do. The times for rock climbing wall were usually during dinner and excursions times. There is a mandatory curfew of 1 am for all teenagers under the age of 18 unless with an adult. All dances for the teenage cruisers were cancelled even though they were still listed in the daily planner.
Decor was outdated and desk had marks on it. Closet space limited for 4 people. Room attendant really encourage reusing towels and wash clothes. Cabin was convenient to elevator.
