A great cruise for the cost and time of year. Overall, very few regrets

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
The food was ok and plentiful. We especially enjoyed the 24-hour pizza and ice cream machines :). Breakfast was repetitive and the lines were painfully long for most meals. There has to be a more efficient manner of feeding 4000 people other than bottlenexking breakfast with hand-served bacon and the syrup for tour pancakes.
The Italian restaurant was “ok” and worth the 15 bucks, but no more. However Fahrenheit 555 was amazing! The food was perfect, service spectacular and the dessert was to die for.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
We enjoyed the pool, comedy shows, karaoke and spa. The pool was often crowded, as expected. The foreword pool was less crowded and more enjoyable. The comedy shows were great, always packed to capacity. (A bigger venue such as the theatre would be better). The karaoke was ok, but the same genre and participants made for some humdrum moments. The spa was enjoyed, and prices were best on day 2.
We saw one show, which was well choreographed and entertaining. Unfortunately, we didn’t have time to see more than the one.
The 80s music was great and the band “six o’clock dock” was amazing.
Overall, something for everyone.

Ship Quality
4 out of 5
I’ll provide one example....you can conclude the cleanliness. We saw one crew member scrubbing the gap at the base of the support posts, with a toothbrush-sized brush. Cleanliness-impeccable.
Disembarking was horrible. The lines for lines for lines lasted forever. We waited 3 hours to get a shuttle to the rental cars. We also tried the taxi line and, despite a promise, none ever arrived. It cannot be a surprise to the port that 8000 people are arriving.
Basically a blocked in shopping area with a pool that’s too small. The bar and service was super but don’t bother trying to access internet. One cruise ship of users crippled the internet connections.
Super port. While we were there, it poured on us and we didn’t even care. The shops, color, history and people were amazing. Take tour time here, have a camera and go inside every open door.
A small area for shopping and a large beach. Chairs and an umbrella cost $35 for 3 and the beach is right next to the boat. Internet available at margueritaville and everything here was clean and professional.
Horrible. Once you’re off the boat, the port seems to not give a crap about you. The lines were long, inadequate transportation and lines that lasted for hours.
