The cruise was Ok. I could not believe how BAD the food is. On top of the food quality being horrible, the menu items stay the same 70% of the time each night in all of the main dining rooms. That was a huge disappointment. Room service takes an hour and they charge you for it after midnight. Ate at Cagney's - that was very good but nothing to go crazy about. Ate at the Italian restaurant - very good as well. The buffet is pure poison. I am shocked at how some people say the food was amazing.

Shows - burn the floor was very good. The 1st 10 minutes are slow and then it picks up. Magic show - it was just ok. Some parts are very cheesy and not realistic. Food was fair to poor and do not pay for the premium seats. The difference between the premium and regular seats is maybe 1 foot. It is a joke and another way for them to nickel an dime you. Legally blonde - fair but not my cup of tea. I liked the farewell show. That was a nice touch. Comedy show was great but it's the same material if you go more than 1x which we did.

Service was ok throughout. My steward made the beds and put new linens in for us but never wiped down the mirrors or other parts in our room. We had to ask for the room to get vacuumed - crumbs on the floor and the steward ignores it?? F&B service was just ok too. Always had to ask for refills. Tables were never pre-bussed all that well.

Cabin Review

Cabin was great!! So much larger than we thought or read about! Huge bathroom. Lots of storage too. We had 6 large suitcases and 2 smaller suitcases and plenty of room. Beds were nice and we liked the extra pull down twin bed as well!
