Great destination, horrible cruise! Food was dismal. Entertainment was not. Whole party of 6 got sick. 3 had food poisoning. Doctor was never there. Everything was expensive. Drinks were $7 but wound up $12 after fees. Poor organization for ports. Limited activities onboard and most for cost. Poor service in dining room. Limited space for shows. Cruise director was more interested in promoting himself than the enjoyment of passengers. Assistant cruise directors were juvenile acting. Port talks had no history or beauty, only shops and sales. We got more instruction from our taxi drivers and showed us hidden parts. Recommend the cultural center (it's not boring in the least). Buffets were over crowded and subpar on land, let alone sea. I've been on 4 separate cruise lines and this is by far the worst! (#1 is Celebrity BTW - SO MUCH BETTER!!!) I even paid extra to get the large balcony room. Hard to enjoy from the tiny, tiny bathroom. Shower was impossible for anyone larger then a 10 year old to bathe. Our only ray of sunshine was our room steward. Art auctions sold a total of two paintings (the under $500 auction had 3 paintings out of 25 that were actually under $500 for prints!). Auctioneer was sleazy. We were kept from dinner for 30 minutes after they failed to register the rest of our party was already there (apparently you need half of a group to sit down, even with a reservation)! We craved getting off this boat! First time after a cruise that I wanted to go home midway thru. To sum up - IT SUCKED!

Cabin Review

Large Balcony

Cabin B6

Small. Bathroom is extremely small. Could only stand in shower, no bending or cleaning. No air circulation/vent in bathroom, which leads to a smelly cabin. Steward was excellent! Very limited storage. Great views. Lol
