Review summary

The cruise was nice. A lot of stuff to do the food was delicious. The drinks were great. Bartenders are pretty fast. Couldn’t really find a server to get a drink quick enough and they didn’t have enough servers to clean off tables and pick up peoples messes they left lying around. But the ones that were there did a great job. Very nice boat. Showers are TINY!!!! I am 5’5 and 150lbs. It was small for me!

Ship experiences

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Service was wonderful from those working but I definitely think they were understaffed. ALOT of dirty tables and glasses all over random places throughout the boat and they would be there for hours. Not very many waiters. Waited at the black jack table for about 40 minutes to finally get a server and he was gone for another half an hour getting our drinks until we finally decided to go to the bar and flag him down to get them ourselves. Not his fault. Def need more wait staff on though.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Some cups looked like they needed a good scrubbing. Glasses all over random spots of the boat and not enough staff to get to them. Not staffs fault. The ones there were definitely working hard.

Ship tip

Drink package is worth it if you drink a lot!

It’s not beautiful but it was definitely wayyyyy faster in and out then Miami was. Oh and there is a little lady who is very loud and mean yelling for you to go through the metal detector.. she should work in a prison. She’s angry. Lol last it’s a nice family vacation. We are not inmates

I was on that cruise. Yes, they are understaffed, as is most of the U.S. Dinnerware and glasses on the floor in hallways is a guest problem. Cleaning tables, as you stated was not done quickly. But, the sincere efforts of most of the crew, seemed amazing. And, day 4 was a huge negative because of the weather.
