Embarkation for wheelchair needs was chaotic. The person responsible for getting the wheelchair assistance needs to hold up a sign.The ship is beautiful, though safety is an issue when it comes to stairs all over the place on the ship. This is most noticeable in the theater and some lounges. The cabin was well maintained and plenty large enough for the two of us. We never saw our cabin steward when we first arrived and he never introduced himself until the next day. He was prompt in making up the room when we put out the sign.

Dining was a disaster. This was my four trip on Divina and a number of things have changed. It was hard to get drinks before, during or after the dinner. The service was slow and the waiter missed or was late in bringing many items during to the table during the meal. He was very rushed, never introduced himself or his assistant waiter, food was lukewarm and not cooked as ordered. We finish our meals in 2 hours or more on most nights. What was an included shrimp cocktail at dinner is now $6.95 if you want one and there is no longer lobster served on the second formal night.

The entertainment on the ship was okay. Service was as noted above for dining and cabin. Guest Services was attentive to needs but inconsistent....some guests were dismissed without answers to their questions. I never got off of the ship because I got sick and needed to go to Medical. They were excellent and took care of the problem with IV and medicine. We did not travel with children. I would go on Divina again, but my husband, who doesn't care that much for cruising, would not choose Divina again. The cruise line is working very hard to make this a premier ship and I am sure they will get there. It takes time to get the American way down pat.
