This cruise company reminded me of driving a car but only getting to third gear. It could have been fantastic but there were some terrible instances of service and food. For instance, I sat next to pool on Sea day for five hours and there were no offers of water or drinks. But, several staff members were cleaning over and over again. We also sat in the explorer lounge for two hours and again, there were no drinks. I had to go and get our own.

The walking excursions mixed everybody up so you ended up with a person using a walking cane in the same group as marathon runners. This was even though there might be six groups departing on the same excursion at the same time. It gave a poor experience to both the person with the walking disability (excursion was too fast) and most other people (excursion was too slow).

The food was below what I expected (it was worst than a cheaper cruise of another cruise line we went on);
