Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

MDR was very slow but food was a nice variety. Steakhouse was good, Guy's burgers always good, Blue Iguana good, breakfast at lido was poor. Didn't eat there other times. Deli was good.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Playlist crew entertainment was nonexistent. Other theater entertainment was ok, but not as good as previously. Horse racing was fun. Did Build a Bear. Mainly relaxed or walked around.

Entertainment

No playlist shows. Music around the ship was good. Cruise director wasn't great.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Staff is always wonderful however definitely overworked. Took very long in dining room. No bar staff going around much onboard. Our room steward was great. Not impressed with the cruise director.

Disembarkation

I would give it zero stars if possible. Worst embarkation we've ever experienced. Our group was called but waited 2 hours for our luggage. Carousel method is terrible.
