We have traveled extensively, and this is the first time that I felt the need to write a review for one of our trips. This was our first cruise and chose it because of the ports of call, not the cruise-line. We read many bad reviews about the ship before we left, but thought that people were being too hard and picky, well, we were wrong.

The most frustrating thing is that they turned into Generals after coming back from our first shore excursion. We were sprayed with chemical every time going into a room to "disinfect", what a farce.

The serving staff were extremely unfriendly and unhelpful. After this "service" started, we did not have a good meal (or good coffee). They would never give you what you asked for, and/or would give you too much of something and wasted a ton of food.
