This was only my second cruise with my first being on Royal Caribbean last year.

Boy was I disappointed. I was shocked firstly that the ship did not have a large promenade with shops and fun stuff going on. One small duty free store and then the atrium where they had a port of call store with perfume and such. Our room was a normal size stateroom with a window. Not bad and nice and clean. Joseph our cabin steward did a great job keeping it neat and clean which was a plus. The food was by far the worst. They bragged of having two dining rooms but both served the same meals. Meals were just okay. Nothing too great. Kind of like eating at the Country Buffet every night. One night my friend ordered a pasta and shrimp dinner and she said it was okay. The next night was a prawn and pasta dinner. Basically the same exact thing. Food was rarely luke warm and very disappointing. I spoke with another traveler who said that they paid 30.00 to eat in the steakhouse and when they ordered shrimp cocktail it was an additional charge. Seriously, for all the money you spend to get on these ships, that is just ridiculous.

The activities crew were the only highlight for me on the ship itself. Mandy, Big Ben, Petra and Shreta was great and the cast show's finale was hysterical. Loved it. And Dan Dan, was quite the comedian. I don't know how this crew is always so happy and fun when they work their butt off from sun up to sun down. They were great!! Read more
