Review summary

Not worth it with many better cruise lines, this is our 19th and surely the worse experience.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Need signs and clarity on why there are 3 lines

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Buffet signs need to be accurate and list gluten free more. Also confusion on where to go when they close one and open another, not enough seating up in the buffet areas. ALSO they need to allow you t o sit alone more easily, the app is a joke Also the 24 hr cafe is hardly anything and NO free drinks, not even free coffee

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Old ship with nothing but creaking sounds from doors, elevators, and lots of vibrations even to the top floor while we ate, the table literally shakes

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Just need more seating in the main atrium

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Some grumpy staff esp the one girl who works at the 24 hr cafe.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5
The few restrooms around the ship were busy and needed more attention

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5
The balcony area door made constant noises. The room was small and no sofa to watch without being in bed. The Bright closet/hall motion light is ridiculous, as it cannot be turned off, try going to the bathroom at night! The motion lights by the beds are bad enough but not like the overhead ceiling bright light that also turns off when you are trying to find wardrobe. If you have short legs, good luck siting on the high toilet seat. The peep window at the cabin door is not covered.

Ship tip

DON'T, too old, not worth the thousands we spent. PLUS all the extra $ we had to pay for internet that was substandard and soft drinks and tips

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

3 out of 5

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

3 out of 5

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

Disembarkation

2 out of 5
WHY do we have to go to wait in a room just to leave first thing with self embark? Why cant we just leave from our cabins during the time slot you gave us?
