Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Guys burgers were yummy, fries just ok. We enjoyed the burrito and taco place. We enjoyed the pasta place too, we did not eat at the buffet. The pizza was fine and so was the cafe/ deli. We did enjoy the coffee shop and the alchemy bar. We ate breakfast and dinner in the main dining room and it was mostly fine. The veggies need a lot of work, they cook them toooo long I think.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We did some of the trivia games and participated in the dance lessons and we really enjoyed it. Some of our party went to the married game show or something like that and enjoyed it. It would be better if they could play more adult movies by the pool at night. Adults pay we should get some movies too. Every movie doesn’t have to be kid friendly.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The male comedian was the extremely funny!!, Sorry but the lady comedian was not funny AT ALL. We walked out. The rock show or 80’s show was not that good. The 3 stars are for the comedian really. The male comedian gets 5 stars, the rest get like two stars.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
The pretend in our group seemed to really enjoy going.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Most of the staff was awesome!! The staff at the spa were unfriendly and snobby. Please put a sign on the wet sauna door in the ladies room to shut the door firmly, so the staff won’t come in and slam the door shut and roll their eyes at the ladies in the sauna. We thought it was shut.

Ship Quality

Ship tip

Ports of call

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

Not much to see and do unless you do an excursion. We did not book an excursion so we just shopped a bit and got back on the ship.

Disembarkation

We ended up on the ship like 6 hours longer because of fog and everyone was still pleasant and accommodating.

Nice review. I miss the Dream. She was my first cruise out of NOLA a year and a half ago. Will be sailing on the Glory soon and will definitely try a drink at Alchemy Bar. Thanks for the review.
