This cruise was recommended by our Travel Agent. We were very disappointed with the ship and the food. While the staff was courteous and accommodating, it couldn't make up for where the shipped lacked. We found it a rather boring cruise with not much to do on the ship. The sit down dinners were extremely disappointing. The beef was tough and full of grizzle. The chicken was rubbery. The pork was fatty. It just got worse with each meal. After returning back to the ship later in the afternoon, there was no food left. An almost empty salad bowl. They told us to wait for tea time. I have never been on a ship where there was no food. The desserts weren't much better. The best thing on this cruise were the croissants in the morning. How sad it that. We paid a lot of money for this trip only to be very dissatisfied. One good point was the 9:00 pm show each night. That is the only positive I can give. Another point is they need to increase the morning sit down breakfast longer then an hour and a half. The shopping on the cruise was pretty pathetic also. The casino if so small you can barely get around in there. The ship needs some help, it looks very old inside. Upon our return home, we informed our travel agent how disappointed we were with the trip.
