Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Dining room was great but our waiter seemed to have more interest in other tables and basically ignored us. When we asked for his name, he said “Cutie Pie” which we thought was very uncomfortable to call out. He never followed up with us to see if we were doing ok or needed anything. We constantly had to ask someone else for what we needed.

The Gathering Lido Restaurant

Waiter “Cutie Pie” was horrible! Ignored us and would not take the time to get to know us at all. He was too busy

DONT CANCEL YOUR TREATMENT LESS THEN 24 HOURS BEFORE IT HAPPENS CAUSE THEY WILL CHARGE YOU HALF THE COST

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Room Steward was amazing! He even gave us a gift for our birthday 🎂. Wait staff in casino was horrible! Never could get a drink

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Very clean

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Very clean, but didn’t realize that our cabin had the running of little feet on top for the Waterworks Slide. That kept us awake when trying to take a nap or go to sleep at night

Ship tip

Don’t book a spa treatment then try to cancel cause they will charge your room Half the price if you do. Stupid and very upsetting rule that we were NOT told about when booking the treatment. Terrible sales practice.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

5 out of 5
No excursion

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
very Nice, but the WiFi in the port from the restaurant was terribly slow and a pain

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

5 out of 5
Had the best excursion experience ever! Nice and relaxing and they got us back in time to shop before our ship left port.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Super fast!

Mydogluke - that one star was her opinion on the spa. It’s okay for others to have a different opinion than you.

Thanks for sharing your experience! Surprised to hear that the slide was open at night. Maybe those “little feet” were crew cleaning.🧐
