Review summary

We spent a lot of money (comparatively to our other family vacations) and were really excited to go on our first cruise. I felt so bad for all of the international staff. They smiled but I could tell they hated being there. I hated it for them. I hated it all. They worked so hard and for what? I can't believe this is what people do for fun.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

It was probably great, except we had no idea what to expect, so we were stressed out.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

Everything looked great and tasted so bland. Mountains of barely edible food.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

We enjoyed the comedy club and the sauna.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Children's Programs

Kids did not leave the room to go to club.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

I felt so sad and entitled. The workers busted their humps and I think the pizzeria guy either works 24/7 or has a clone. Same guy every time. Did we cruise on a slave ship?

I wish that we weren't hearded through the gift shop like cattle. It's hard to board the ship when people are making purchases in the terminal. Our excursion was great. We did the Atlantis Submarine tour of the reef.
