Don't make a mistake by booking this cruise because no matter what you pay, you'll be throwing your money away. Overall, the food was horrible (except Chops which is the only private dinning option), the entertainment very poor and the service staff will always say "yes" to your requests but do nothing about it!

Speaking of food, the menu for both the Starlight dinning room and the Windjammer never changes. If you're looking for a warm meal, you will not find it in the Windjammer restaurant. The food was cold or luke warm all the time. But, I admit, the bartenders made good strong drinks which is a good thing because you'll need it to tolerate the cruise! The main dinning room was staffed with men who spoke with their respective foreign accents which gave you a sense of a classy world class dinning. But that is the only thing you get is a "sense" because upon closer examination it becomes obvious that they are just going through the motions of serving and don't have any real concern or passion for what they are doing!

Cabin Review

Cabin Platinum

If you like living in a box with a window with two bunk beds hung on each side of your bed and you are athletic enough to contort your body to avoid these obstructions, then this cabin is for you!
