It was a great cruise overall. MDR food was not as good as before and compared to the sunrise which I had just been on 3 weeks before this. Comedy shows we’re funny and I appreciate that the family shows are at 8&9 so we could make them after dinner.

Review summary

I think the embarkation could’ve been better and the food in the MDR not so good but other than that it was a good cruise and we really enjoyed it.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Kinda like a cattle call and then they opened a new line so people coming in behind us were getting thru ahead of those of us who had been waiting longer in line.

May try YTD next time… didn’t care for our wait staff and food was not great and lukewarm but Guys and Blue cantina were delicious.

Service and Staff

Eddy our room steward was the best and kept our room clean and also kept our ice bucket filled twice a day!!

Ship tip

If you embark in the second slot in Galveston be prepared to stand in longer lines and humid building.

Just wasn’t handled well and where they put you in the encore theater with your luggage for express walk off is not really workable!
