I didn’t like it….

FOOD:As a vegan I found the food to be lacking. There were some options but there wasn’t an ingredient list or clear vegan label on everything. I feel like the set up could have been much better in the marketplace buffet. There is a lot of room for improvement here.In my opinion it’s very outdated and low budget. The pizza with no cheese is basically what I ate all week with salads. Gets very ...

Immediately the staff was very attentive to my special son & my elderly mom. They accompanied us & by passed the lines in order to get them out of the elements. The checkin staff was very friendly and accommodating . The “handicapped” rooms were the smallest of all the cruise lines we’ve been on, making it very difficult to navigate around- especially with a wheelchair bound son. . My wonderful ...

Before I explain the best/worst parts of this cruise - I'd like to mentioned I've been embarking on cruises since I was 8 (I've been on 14 cruises so far & i'm now 34). What I enjoyed: Entertainment was great. Lots of options for live music of all music genres throughout the day. They had free & paid shows nightly that were 4/5 entertaining/impressive. Specialty Restaurants: I suggest ...

As a first time cruiser with my family, this was a very disappointing experience. We seemed to be on a very full or even overcrowded ship. The rooms looked larger than what was portrayed. Luckily we purchased 2 cabins for four people and yet we still felt like the rooms should have been larger. The cost for the trip seemed too good to be true and it was. From the time you enter ...

We are presently still on board. The ship is sailing at full capacity with approx. 4200 passengers. This ship caters to the Asian population. All signs and announcements are in English and Chinese. The reason for taking this cruise was the price point. However, once you are on board, you are nickeled & dimed. Our balcony cabin is comfortable, but lacks storage space. Our room steward is ...

I have been on this ship 4 times, the staff was not at all friendly, there were no smiles on their faces, we never even met our room steward. We had early dinner seating and our asst server never spoke a word, he sometimes brought our rolls and drinks but was speechless. The food was cold and overall had not taste. I am already use to the new menu but the quality of the food was poor. Our ...

They seemed to be disorganized. They had shows in the main passage way at the same time there theater show was letting out which caused confusion to many people at one time in the same place. The ship had some bad smells around the ship. Their market place buffet was very confusing as well as too crowded. It was nearly impossible to find a seat. The person I was traveling with has a gluten ...

Do better RC. Last cruise I did before this was in 2013 and it was amazing. Standard has significantly dropped. Dinning experience felt rushed every night not sure if it's the 515pm.. the food was not good at all. Desserts win though. They billed my account before I could decide fully if I wanted the service. Everything on this ship is sooo rushed geez. It's a cruise ..relax! I witnessed a ...

The ship was modern and clean. There was a long wait at security to board. Once past security, it was a super fast check-in and we got right on the ship. We had 10 family members, ages 75 down to infant age 2. We prepurchased the dining specialty package. As soon as we got on the ship we had to wait over an hour to make reservations. It was difficult making reservations for a large group. We ...
