Cabin: Panoramic Ocean View Stateroom

Food was subpar in the main dining room, average in the windjammer cafe. However the Windjammer cafe seating area was slow at removing dirty dishes and actually wiping down tables. We had 8:30 seating in the main dining room, the food was not what we expected. Cold or bland was the normal for the dining room, 4 out of 6 nights the Creme Brule was not even torched on the top. The last night we were served for the Seafood Medley, previously frozen fish and scallops battered/deep fried. The wait staff was prompt, courteous and apologetic and gave us the we need a 10 rating to keep our job speach. Our table was never visited by anyone higher in authority except the last night looking for gratuities, they should all be replaced. The casino was very small, staff was friendly as usual with cruise lines. The entertainment was horific, they tried to do acrobatic shows in the Centrum but they were either out of sync or scared of heights, instead of a Balet/dance group when doing routines.

Cabin Review

Panoramic Ocean View Stateroom

Cabin PV

Room doesn't match the category, the service staff is not helpful. Used the old "West are fully booked" standard excuse. This is why cruise ships should have to show pics of every room.Guest Services desk was useless, only stating, that's the room you booked, as I told them if I had known it was inferior to the description I would not have booked it. The bathroom toilet occasionally would not flush, there are a few place in the bedroom floor as you walk in that are weak and buckle. THE WINDOW that was in the room was dirty and scratched up inside and out so taking pictures was not very good either.

Port Reviews

Kotor

We took a private tour for 5 of us, we were driven to Budva to look at the Citadel and old churches then back to Kotor for a walk through the courtyards. There is a lot of history and sights to see. The people are friendly and want to teach you about their history

Corfu

Lots of shopping, take the bus to the old fort area and walk through the narrow streets for some great shopping. Best place to buy Leather products and Olive Wood products like spoons, forks and bowls.

Venice

There is a lot to do in Venice, we had 4 days and did not see 1/2 of it. Water Taxi's are expensive, walking the narrow streets with a good map is easily done. Get away from the main tourist areas to find some great local food.
