To start with, other people may feel very different about this cruise line. It really depends what you are looking for in a cruise. For us, it was just not a match. We did not like it as much as other cruises we have taken. The buffet was much smaller then what we were use to (should be expected on a smaller ship) and the servers actually put the food on your plate so it's more like a cafeteria line or soup kitchen line then a buffet, again some people may like this, but not us. My wife is a vegetarian and the options for her were extremely limited. The servers and wait staff actually "reuse" food and drink which is just crazy. I saw our waiter pouring what was left of and old glass of orange juice into one of our glasses to "top it off" before he brought it to the table for breakfast, the same night I ordered pasta with red sauce at the "buffet" which they cook in front of you, and after they heated the sauce, and put the noodles in, they served the noodles to me in a small bowl, then put the remaining sauce back in the metal bin with the original cold sauce. Strange.

So some things you may or may not like are that this ship has no photo staff. No pictures of any type are taken to sell by the cruise ship. No dinner photos, no port photos, nothing. There are no waiters walking around to sell you drinks on deck, the bars are very accessible so drinks are easy to get, but no one walking around asking "drinks?"

The staff is very friendly, very helpful. Read more
