I will start this with I am not one to complain often however this cruise was not what I expected. This was my hubby and I's second cruise, first on Carnival and the kids (17 & 15) first cruise. Hubby and I must have been spoiled on Celebrity.

The food was regularly cold every time I had pancakes on the buffet they were cold, the french toast was raw, sea day brunch the eggs benedict hollandaise was sort of baked on (I peeled it off not a sauce at all). The main dining menu was offered in the buffet this bothered me the whole point of the main dining is to have 'better' food. There were a few exceptions but overall I have eaten better food at Golden Corral! The Blue Iguana Cantina was hardly ever open ( 730-1030 am or 12-230 pm) though it was not very good so that was ok I guess. Guys Burgers on the other hand was the BEST food on the ship again only open a relatively short time 12-6 pm. We had the fish and chips place once the fish and chips were dripping with grease like the oil was not hot enough and they just soaked up the oil. The buffet had odd hours as well getting back on the ship between 3 & 5 the only food available was Guys or the Pizza place. The pizza reminded me of a Totino's pizza with better flavor but very thin and skimpy on toppings. I feel like I was forever looking for food because nothing was ever open. There also was no variety on the buffet... No hashbrowns, no fried eggs (only scrambled, benedict or omlets) no biscuits and gravy.

The theatre events were not entertaining at all. The shows we went to only had tops 50 people in them. We got up and left a few times for example when the battle of the sexes is who can make the best paper airplane, I mean really?! The 'fun' things were in small venues (300 capacity I think) which were packed! I have never had to leave a venue after an event if I didn't wish to such as the comedian in the ebony cabaret they had 4 shows nightly (2 family friendly and 2 adult only one set from 2 comedians each) and you could not sit and watch both shows because other people wanted to see a comedian and they clear it out. Makes more sense to me to have the 'big draw' shows in the theatre so everyone can enjoy both! Read more
