Review summary

Best part of the cruise were the ports. Also, the ship looked good, fresh paint ,etc. The wifi is terrible. It is slow and hard to log on. I even paid for the upgraded wifi. I was also using updated and new iPhones and iPads. I was able to get a refund because of the poor service but still would like to have had access. Boarding in Barcelona was easy and timely. Leaving in Tampa was easy and quick but the lines outside for busses, taxis and other transport were impossible. Took over an hour and a half to get picked up by rental car company because of all the confusion and crowds.

Ship tip

Fun ship goes to good ports. Service staff were very good. I'm not impressed with specialty restaurants their food just doesn't taste like anything. Rita's cantina is good tough.
