We wish to express our opinions regarding the subject cruise in hopes to stem the downward trend in cruise quality. Overall, we find this cruise disappointing in view of our more than 400 days cruising across several lines. On this cruise we experienced some pleasant things, some not so pleasing and some we miss.
The cuisine was grade C at best. Pork belly multiple times. Root vegetables limited to carrots and parsnips(?), Tough meat, small shrimp, escargot once in 21 days, thin, dried-out fish on over sized bed of rice, limited desserts, chintzy vegetables and fruit. Foods of foreign lands same most days in Lido. But the sauerbraten was good.
Crew and guest services were pleasant.The turn around between back-to-back legs was a tremendous improvement. No more parading off then back on to the ship. Replaced by assembly in he theater.
Good cabin and comfortable bed. Temperature control was responsive. Great TV movies. Adequate storage in closets and drawers and on shelves for cloths and other items. The veranda was spacious and large enough to stretch out. The bathroom shower/tub combination is a good idea.
