From the very beginning this cruise had big problems. Embakation was delayed over 3 hours, people standing in the hot sun, no explanation, no water...a few passed out (rumor was that the delay was caused by the ship losing a lifeboat when hit by a rogue wave earlier). Once on board, no information was put out by the ship. The Captain did mention the delay during the lifeboat drill but because of the noise, no one really heard him.

Food: the dining room food was just OK; some night the menu was, for me, unappetizing, so I went to the buffet and found a very nice selecton. BTW, you have to ask for escargot at dinner and lox at breakfast.

Lobster night was good. Read more
