I just have to say, I was not pleased with this cruise. The ship itself is beautiful, and the service was wonderful - no complaints there. But, there seemed to be some major problems, namely the food.

I have never heard anyone ever say that cruise food is bad. However, I have to say that this is by far the worst food that I have ever had. My husband and I tried to eat in the main dining room every night, and each night, we were sending food back. Too salty, overcooked, bad flavor - the list goes on and on. We tried Jade and the Windjammer, and had the same problems. We thought about trying Chops or Portofino, but I just didn't feel like I should have to pay more than I already was to get better food. Honestly, we were thankful to get off the boat in each port, because we could at least get some food off of the ship. My husband and I asked around, because we thought that maybe something was wrong with us, but there were so many other people on board who felt the same way - the food was awful! We are not frequent cruisers, but those who we talked to who were said that this was by far the worst food they have ever had on a cruise ship. I cannot complain about our servers in area of food however - all of the servers did their best to accommodate us, and they definitely deserve their tips. We understood that it wasn't their fault, and they understood that we weren't upset with them. I have to say, the restaurant service was probably the best that I have ever received.

We had an Interior Promenade room, which was very cute! I was worried that it would be noisy, and that I would hear all of the parades and such from the Promenade. However, there was no problem at all, I am pleased to say! In fact, I slept through one of the parades! Our room was also right next to the elevator, and again, no noise. Also, the shades really blocked all of the light, so having one of those rooms really was as dark as a normal interior room. I appreciated having the extra sitting space of the window seat. Some friends of ours had balcony rooms, but those rooms were no bigger than ours - they just had balconies. The bathroom was fine. Our stateroom attendant was awesome! Read more
