This was a very relaxing, enjoyable cruise. The casino does have issues with way to much smoking! There is NO non smoking area. Food was excellent and service was also!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

MDR food was very good. Chops and Jamie's were excellent in oth food and service.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Fitness center was good, although a few of the treadmills did not work and some people were lax on wiping down the machines.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

The main shows on the ship need to be changed. They have been on the ship for over5 years ago. Other entertainers were good but not great.

Children's Programs

We have no kids.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Our cabin attendant was terrific! Our MDR waiter was very good. Specialty dining service was excellent. And the casino bar tenders were excellent!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Public rest rooms were not as clean as we are used to. A couple were down right filthy.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

We had a JR suite which was great, except an area under the main dresser, behind a grate had not been cleaned in ages! This area was filthy.

Ship tip

If this your first time on the ship, use your first few hours to become acquainted with ship!

We took a private tour and it was great. We did not have to wait for anyone and we saw what we wanted to see. We had a great driver/guide who lives on the island and knows the best places!
