A friend recommended it, my first cruise, it was average experience. Disappointed in the staff as it pertained to our maintenance issue.quality of food on the buffet was disappointing, the dining rooms had more quality food. The pool area was over taken by a younger crowd, the sexy legs contest turned into a raunchy chip and dale act. The music was loud and made it difficult to talk near the pool area. Some if the staff was polite and accomidating others got rude and short on some occasions it seemed they were put out by our group sitting at a table for any length if home, the port in Hondorus was disappointing, my wife utilized the spa services and said it was excellent, same with the fitness area. The specialty restaurants were good but not great as they had been told to me, the quality of food was not what I expected for the added cost.
