Additional details

Sail Date: May 2011
Cabin: Oceanview Porthole Window

Food was mostly 2nd rate. Limited & repetitious Buffet for both breakfast & lunch. Supper as well did not live up to expectations. Lobster tail was the smallest we've ever had on any ship while the roast beef was thin & unremarkable. Attitude taken by management was that if you don't like the food, you can always go to a "paying" restaurant of which there were not less than 8. We were left with impression that food quality was purposely lowered in the "free restaurants" in order to promote & increase revenue

Entertainment again was mostly unsatisfactory on 5 nights; the only 2 entertaining shows included Brenda the hypnotist & 2nd to last day providing a variety show.

Our cabin in comparison to other ships was small and could use refurbishing. We had a sewer smell for 2 days. Our complaint yielded the comment that it is normal when the sea is rough, causing swaying of the hull (1st time I heard this story)
