Review summary

A good cruise with a lot of fees. Typical cruise-not enough seats near pools. Ship was at max capacity, and seemed understaffed at times.

Slow, arrived at 10am, boarded around 1

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Plenty of restaurants on the boat. Sometimes food was cold and service was slow. We ate at specialty restaurant a la carts and it was definitely not worth the money. Limited non meat options during Ash Wednesday and Friday’s for Catholics.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Lots of things to do-ropes course, on board activities, pools

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Million Dollar Quartet show was good/not great. Boat was full so seats were at a premium for everything that you wanted to do.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Room steward was good and tended to our room twice a day. Windows on balcony were dirty and balcony had paint chips on it throughout cruise.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Inside was clean and well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

We fit 4 in this room. At times it was a little tight. One smaller tv in the room and limited tv channels.
