Review summary

Will never cruise Spring Break again!!! Service was too slow and the boat felt crowded.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

NOLA port is smaller and very efficient. We were on the boat in 20 minutes.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The boat was FULL so everything took a really long time. Service in the Main Dining room took forever!! Dinner was a 2 hour ordeal.

Room Service

5 out of 5

LOVE this place!!! Best food on the boat if you like authentic Indian food. There are evidently not a whole lot of us, so this place never had a line.

Entertainment

2 out of 5

They had this singer in the lobby and coffee bar who was AWFUL! She would literally clear the room every-time she started singing. I think her name was Phoebe!

Encore! Main Lounge

5 out of 5

Flying Scotsman Show was Awesome. It is sad when the best singer on the boat is the Cruise Director.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Decor is hideous, especially the red plastic cups all over the ceiling of the main dining room!

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Room is a but dated but well equipped and maintained.

Ship tip

If you want to find a quiet spot away from the masses on deck, go all the way forward on deck 5, 6 or 7 and there is a large metal door that leads to a walkway that is always empty at the front of the ship.
