Review summary

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

We had the Cheers package and I felt it was such a complete waste. You couldn’t use it until the second day not even for soda. Just to get a soda you had to go to a bar and get one can of soda at a time. We didn’t bring our own on because we thought it wouldn’t be needed since we had the drink package, but when you just wanted a drink while hanging out in our room we had to go all the way to the bar to get a drink. Also the drinks in room service weren’t included in the cheers package. The food at the buffet during dinner was not good. We enjoyed the food at the other restaurants. Some of the bartenders were rude.

Ship tip

Bring sea sickness meds. Stay on the boat in Progresso. Don’t waste money on the cheers package.

People were way too pushy and ended up making us feel so uncomfortable we just went back to the ship after just getting off for a short time. It was super packed with it being Mardi Gras.
