Everything you wish a cruise won't be is what this cruise was. The ship itself older but refurbished. Needs to be put out of commission really. Ports advertised were not ports we visited. Nicaragua was cancelled never knew why, zihuanteneo cancelled because pier had been damaged in storm. New ports added hualtco and Puerto Vallarta. Main reason for choosing this cruise was to see Nicaragua.

Dining room staff poor, food worse almost unacceptable. In the lido buffet, lots of mystery dishes often without names. Daily at least one elevator didn't work. Shellacking, polishing, etc done when at sea rather than in port. Smells were often unbearable. One day we needed to evacuate our cabin so staff could put air cleaner in cabin to remove odor.

The entertainment was barely acceptable but it did give us something to do nightly. The ship had self service laundry which was great for a two week cruise. Overall, the cruise was disappointing. I've always had great experiences with RCCL and Celebrity. Read more
