Review summary

It was a great cruise but I will not book through again. I thought we had paid everything but it turned out the gratuity had not been included. I believe my cruise went by too fast.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation was amazingly simple and fast compared to last time I went on a cruise.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food was beautiful and delicious. Lot's to chose from.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Sat by the pool, it was relaxing. Played in casino, very confusing when using your card, especially on the quarter machine. Got taken for like $30 but they insisted camera shows you using the money but wont show you the camera. The Piano club is awesome, along with Caliente club. Shows are amazing.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
They are really great! I loved all their entertainment from the 80s music to the gender showdown contest.

Children's Programs

We didn't bring kids.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everyone you ask for help was awesome. Except in the casino area. Celso, Prince and Agung were the best waiters we've ever had. Very attentive to our needs.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Yes, everything was kept very clean. Except the elevator and stair areas close by the pool, they smelled like wet rags. We thought it was because of pool people walking around all wet.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
We had to be moved from 2202 because the first night was a stormy night and all night long it sounded like we were being shot with canon balls. We didn't sleep at all. Stewart said it was the waves hitting the boat. We were right in the front. Luckily they moved us for the remainder of the cruise and gave us an upgrade which was really nice.

Ship tip

Do not get a room in front of the boat.

Ports of call

Got some great deals.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
It took longer to disembark than to embark. They have a great system though, everything went pretty well.

gratuities are never included unless it specifically says so. some web sites pay port charges, some do not. all add taxes to rate. read carefully!!
