I have been on more than 40 cruises on lines ranging from NCL and RCI to Celebrity and Princess. This was my worst cruise ever. The food was awful. The only decent food on the ship was at the specialty restaurants, for which you had to pay. The buffets consisted mainly of ethnic foods, grey hamburgers, and salad bars. The dining room had mediocre meats and small portions. If you wanted a good steak in the main dining rooms, again, you had to pay extra.

A month earlier, I had been on a Holland America cruise and had a great time. The food was wonderful, especially the buffets, where you could get made-to-order pastas, sushi, and sandwiches as well as an extensive selection of fresh foods. You could also get made-to-order beef, chicken, and mushroom burgers, which were excellent, as were the freshly made french fries that came with them.

Regarding our cabin, nine times out of ten, when we opened the door to our bathroom, we noticed a heavy sewage smell. This smell was there throughout most of the cruise. And, a few days into the cruise, the carpet beside the bed became saturated after a heavy rain outside. For the following two days, we had a huge blower fan in our room to dry out the carpet.

Cabin Review

Large Ocean View Stateroom

I will say that our room steward and our wait staff were excellent, but they were the only positive parts of this cruise.

Port Reviews

Port Canaveral (Orlando)

Walked a mile or two to see what was available to see/do. Not much. Too cold to go to the beach; already been to DisneyWorld and the Space Center.
