Overview
This is worst cruise that we had the misfortune to book. Let's talk about running out of food, booking problems, not being able to book any excursions and or reservations for dinner, and the service was the worst I have ever seen.

Public Areas
No Casino but we knew that. The public areas were nice. Every so often you would get a whiff of sewer. We were told by the ship we should expect that.

Food and Service
The food was ok, but the service was the worst ever. We could not book a reservation for a restaurant so most of the time we ate buffet. The first day they ran out of maple syrup, their main breakfast that morning was pancakes and waffles. The second day they ran out of Ranch dressing, limes, the coffee pot was broken through out the trip and most of the food was the same. We were able to eat a couple of nights in different restaurants, the first night they ran out of prime rib and the last night they ran out of T-bones.

Cabins
I really enjoyed our cabin, especially since we spend a good deal of time there. The show was very small but one person could fit, our bed was not the most comfortable but our cabin steward help a great deal. He worked harder than anyone on this ship.

Entertainment
One night we went to a spin off of the newlywed game, called newlywed and not so newlywed. There were four couples on stage, three were very funny the couple who won the event cheated throughout the whole game. It was very easy to spot that they were giving each other the answers.

Activities
We could not enjoy any activities set by the ship on shore... they were all book up the day we boarded the ship. We visited the ships hot tubs in the main pool area. There were four hot tubs, three were heated and the fourth was very cold. The staff could not change the temp of the water and since the other three was full.. we didn't participate.

Who Goes
We were able to people two other couples at a small bar called Lanai... and thanks to the bar tenders D-An and Brian we had a great time one night. That was one night out of seven...
