We made a mistake in booking a cruise on this ship. It was too big for our liking and had too many passengers (even though it was not full). Many activities, such as they were, were in the atrium where it was very difficult to find a seat. This class ship has no central elevator, meaning my partially disabled husband had to walk many extra steps every day. Even with reservations in the main dining room, there was a long line at peak dining times. The major productions in the theater required reservations; this was OK for us since I booked in advance, but others were not so fortunate. However, the "big show" in the theater, "Rock of Ages," was very disappointing. Rated 18-and-over, it was crude, offensive, and unsuitable for the senior citizens who made up the bulk of the passengers on this 2-week repositioning cruise.

However, service was, as usual, excellent. Food in the dining rooms was usually very good. We had a premium dining package where food was generally excellent. The exception was La Cucina which was horrible.

Our one excursion, to Bath, England, was excellent. Read more
