Review summary

I believe that ship should have been retired. The paint was peeling in pool and jacuzzi area. Ventilation system throughout ship was faulty. Other than being windy at those 2 ports that were canceled, i don't know why we didn't port. When we returned to Ft Lauderdale it was very windy and rainy, yet the CPT was able to stop and get rid of us all. I will NEVER cruise again. I spent a lot of money on this and it was not worth it.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Staff were very efficient

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Only reason I'm giving it a 4 star is because the waiters and food prep crew were very nice and helpful. Waaaay too many people, difficult to find seating

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

We didn't get to enjoy any activities because the amount of people that wanted to participate was vast. The CPT canceled 2 ports due to "weather conditions" so everyone remained on ship looking for things to do

Entertainment

1 out of 5

We didn't get to participate in stage shows because there was not enough seating. Performers and musicians were excellent...again standing and not able to sit, too many people.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Stateroom staff and waiters were great..very attentive, friendly and efficient. Bartenders looked overwhelmed, not enough bartenders for the amount of people on ship
