I think fo the most part my dissapointment came from the fact that i merely expected more. Although the food wasn't bad, it certainly didn't compare to the other ships that I've sailed upon. We had a few decent meals and some were so terrible we ended up making sandwiches at the buffet. The entertainment and activities were lacking so we found ourselves quite bored by day three. The staff, with the exception to our room steward were quite " stand-offish". After construction noises at 8 am, they told us it was standard procedure and didn't seem to care that it was bothersome to us. Our cabin was acceptable, although I think the pricing was high due to its small size. Both embarkation and disembarkation were standard in comparison to other ships. My wife , being a lady I guess; thought the environment and décor to be quite bland and unappealing - certainly lacking glamour. To sum it up, I think many other cruise lines supersede the quality of this one
