Review summary

Take the good with the bad and try and have a good time. I would go on this ship again but the food was not very desirable... pools were filled with kids, kids should not have been present at some adult shows. Just saying

Embarkation

3 out of 5
The embarkation was successful and organized.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

The main dinnings food could have been more desirable. The so called first few night the food was awful at trying to fix louisiana food. As time went on the food got better. Our severs were outstanding!!! Table # 906

Were suppose to stop but engine problems but sure did make up for lost time. Dropped us off back in New Orleans and picked up a new batch of cruisers... something was not right everyone was extremely disappointed.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
No one to check baggages of our credentials it was very worrisome. Anyone could have transported illegally drugs, agriculture or whatever since there was no customs at all! Very concerned

And to you jbbinder

Hah, you really did totally miss it, shari. Happy cruising.

sharisullivan    7 years ago

OMG. Are you kidding me? Kids in the pool vs pool filled with kids. Same thing

jbbinder    7 years ago

Nice try. No, sharisullivan, you intentionally misstated what was posted. Twice. Many of us have diff opinions, and I am happy to respect them all, as I would hope mine would be respected also. But you deliberately misstated what was in the original post, as well as my replies. Don't throw the "opinion" card now.

Not picking a fight. Just starting my opinion

jbbinder    7 years ago

Again, that's not at all what Siouxsister said. And no one said they don't have a right to be in the pools. Go pick a fight where you have the facts on your side.

sharisullivan    7 years ago

I am still asking why no kids in the pool? It just seemed like Siouxsister believes that the pools should not allow kids. As for the "little germ bags" , yes the terminology bothers me. They are children. They have as much right to go in the pool as anyone else. I had much rather be in a pool with a lot of kids than a lot of obnoxious drunks

Jeez, sharisullivan. All I did was answer the question you asked. (Was it the terminology that bothered you? Sorry. Maybe you don't hang out with a lot of people who work with kids. LGB really isn't that uncommon.)

Shots fired.

Oh then by all means remove the "little germ bags" so you can enjoy your cruise. God knows the "little germ bag's" parents didn't pay as much as you did for your cruise. It's all about YOU.

jbbinder    7 years ago

She didn't say "kids in the pools"; she said "pools were filled with kids". Translation: it is impossible to enjoy the pools, and the areas around them, when the pools are filled with screaming, screeching, splashing kids. Or as I like to call them, Little Germ Bags.

What's won't with kids in the pools?

Yep all depends on the time of year we too stay away from holiday season.. and your quite right kids should not in the adult be at adult shows carnival should be more on the ball with things like that some parents are so irresponsible.. 🍹😎

Cruising is always a great time. (But we try to cruise November-February though; hardly any kids, rates almost 1/2, weather is perfect.)
