My first and last cruise with this cruise line. It is like vacation on QVC. All the cruise line does is try to sell additional things, photos, shore excursions, beverage packages, watches, diamonds, art work, shopping excursions, coupon books, bingo tickets. There aren't any interesting lectures or movies just one big infomercial. The library consists of books locked behind cabinets with no attendant to open them - you have to go down to the lower deck and request someone come up and unlock the cabinet. The pools are too small for 3000 people. I have a bigger pool in my back yard - and deeper. You can't even swim...just wade in warm germ infested water. There is constant too loud booming music on deck so it's hard to relax - even at "Serenity" the adult only area....what serenity - music so loud I can't even think, let alone read and relax. The miniature walking/exercise track runs right through the smoking area of the ship - not too smartly planned folks.

The food is horrible. It's my second day and I'm already sick - I keep upchucking......it's really bad cafeteria food - even in the dining rooms. How can you make a salad bad? I don't know...but ask this cruise line. Breakfast is the only meal they pull of OK and the pizza and hamburger shops in the food court I hear are OK - but how healthy is that? Things are SOOOO boring unless you want to drink or play the casino. No TV channels available and there are only 2 movies on the TV which play over and over again - oh .... I bought an internet package so I could watch TV. Can't wait to get off this ship!

The crew is very friendly and helpful though. Only redeeming thing.
