Hit or miss
July 7th 2025
I went on this cruise in July 2024 with my husband. We loved it. Delicious food, fantastic service, and all around great. Fast forward a year and we took my parents in July 2025. The food was decent, but a noticeable downgrade from last year, and the service was okay. Nothing about the experience “wow-ed” or really left an impression. I’m hoping it was an anomaly. Wasn’t bad but also wasn’t great. It was solidly okay.
