Review summary

There was a very large group on this sailing. They took over the entire ship. My vacation was overshadowed by this very large group. Public areas were overtaken, service suffered, unable to participate in certain activities because of this.

Embarkation

1 out of 5
Staff directing the embarkation line were rude & not effective at explaining the process.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Buffet not big enough to accommodate that amount of people (breakfast was a nightmare), food wasn't impressive, dining room service good but extremely slow.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
Flow rider was great. Needed more to do on the main pool deck (ie: slides)

Entertainment

1 out of 5
The aqua show was disappointing. Seen it before, was much better then.

Children's Programs

1 out of 5
All my child did was play dodge ball the entire time. Very boring. 9 to 11 program was disappointing. The staff weren't engaged or interested.

River tubing was fun but not as advertised. Cut short due to time constraints.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

2 out of 5
Fun but not worth doing again. Very expensive. Lost 2 hrs due to time of sunset but still paid full price.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Quick and easy

I think two things. #1 cruising is not for you. #2 you were looking to not have a good time. A cruise is what u make of it. You have to plan it out before you go. Look for things that look like fun for you and your family. Maybe the mouse house would be better for you. It is what you make it !
