Review summary

Great trip but as mentioned early the staff was not the friendliest. The ship is so big that they don’t get to know your name much less your preferences. The ship is in dire need of sprucing up, which I hear may occur next year. For me the biggest issue with this sailing is that it is a large ship, sailing for only a weekend. So the clientele was a bit more inconsiderate than I am used to. For example having full volume conversations during a show. Perhaps it is due to the booze cruise mentality. Also, I don’t feel that it’s a great bang for your buck. The cruise was For the price for three nights and add ons, I didn’t get my money’s worth. There wasn’t enough time in the day to really enjoy the ship

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Overall good experience. We were in a suite and they offered a small area for snack and beverage. The staff manning the table was not friendly or welcoming. He spent the whole time on his phone
