Embarkation / Debarkation - Highly recommend Port of Charleston. Never had a better experience getting on and off the ship.

Food: The food was really sub-par. After the first two nights (which were good), the menu in the formal dining room left us feeling "meh" so we went upstairs to the buffet which was even more "meh".

Service: The Stateroom service was great but that was about it. The service in the formal dining rooms was very poor compared to other cruises. At times we waited extended periods to be served in the evenings and the brunch service was just plain poor. Read more
