I did not have high expectations for this cruise, and I was not disappointed. The stateroom attendant was trying to be incognito, I only saw him once. While the room was kept clean, he never left tissues in the bathroom or a room service menu for breakfast.

The were 2 waiters at the dinner due to the size of our group. The younger one seemed to have his act together, the more experienced one would bring soup and salad to the table at the same time and bring people the wrong orders. At the first night dinner, instead of showing us to our table, the head waiter merely pointed off in the distance and we had to find our own way.

The food was mediocre. Usually one of the highlights of a cruise, at least for me, is to see the menu each night and see what the chefs have come up with. This cruise was disappointing.

Cabin Review

Ocean View Balcony

Cabin was fine, but a little run down. Cabin service was poor.
