I was invited by my family to go on this cruise. They were offered a special from the station casinos here in Las Vegas, Nevada. The cruise ship was average with a strange layout. Hardly anywhere for people to smoke and the rooms we had were incredibly small with horrid bathrooms. The breakfast I will say was very good, however the lunch was absolutely terrible and cheap looking. They made food that most Americans would never touch. I ordered room service most of the time because of this. However, if you're hungry, good luck! Room service usually takes around and hour to deliver. The food on deck including the pizza, hamburgers, fries and ice cream was average. The room service burgers were much better in my opinion, but as I said before, you'd be luck to get it in under an hour. As for the dining, it was up to par if the crew didn't act so uptight. Not all of them were like this however. The one's we had on the other hand were somewhat rude and sarcastic. That really didn't help when you were hungry and they smirked at you when you asked for another meal or dessert. Getting off the ship was the best part. The off-shore excursions were nice, but returning to the boat meant returning back to a small cabin with a terrible bathroom and horrible lunch that was pretty much a carbon copy every single day. Only thing that helped was our cabin steward Anthony. He was amazing, but extremely overworked. Felt so bad for him. Thank god for a ping pong table, that was the best highlight of this trip besides the other on-board boring activities.

Cabin IC

The cabin was horrid in my opinion! Terrible TV options and the beds were very small with some furniture that made it hard to navigate through the room. The shower was pathetic!!! Very small with a head that did not adjust. A very, very sad room. Thank god I just slept most of the time. I will say however, the cabin Steward we had was simply amazing. His name is Anthony. This is the most polite and hard-working steward I have ever seen in my life. This man deserves a raise! Seriously!!! I have never seen my bed been made more times in all the cruises I've taken. Every time I left my room he was there to clean and made my bed. Anthony is simply incredible! My room was R744 and he was superb!!!
