Itinerary: Caribbean - Southern
Ports Were what we expected. Tours were a bit expensive.
The Ship was clean.Pool were Fine.Covered pool area was a good idea. The Casino slots were a disappointment, lots of noise, little pay out.
The Dining room was nice, wait staff were excellent.But the food--VERY POOR. Not the dining experience we were led to believe was in store for us. Even the waiter apologised for the poor quality. Processed turkey for dinner was unacceptable, its cafeteria food, and half a crawfish after expecting maine lobster tails was a let down,we heard that the kitchen was under staffed, and it showed! You need to improve, or you will losing customers.
No complaints. Cabin Steward was very good.
My Grandkids entertain us better in their school plays.It was a strictly amateur production. We stopped going.One evenings "Output" lasted 20 minutes,then to the cabin to read. (Which we can do at home)the bands were very good, that we did enjoy.
Unless you wanted to make paper flowers,or struggle to get some information on activities out of a person that doesn't speak English.Back to the Cabin!!!!!!!!
Some people were O.K.The languages were a BIG problem.The announcements in 5 languages was Miserable.
