Review summary

This is our second cruise this year. Is getting better & better folks. Thanksgiving cruises are the way to go with plenty of calving 😎😎

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Checking in was smooth & with no issues at all 😎😎

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The main late dine in at the scarlet restaurant was slow. The food was good, but at the same time the buffet will have the same food. Our average time for the dinner to arrive to our table was 30 plus minutes or so. ( yes that is correct ) again the food was good 👍

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Everyone is 100% top notch. We always bring a few extra cash just to tip our room stewards, & our waiter’s & waitress. They really appreciate that. A little bit is better than nothing. Always tell them how much we appreciate them. They really like to hear that.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Ship is always getting wipe in every angle. Big thumbs up to the crew always keeping the ship clean. The ship is showing is age ( that’s for sure ) but in all I had no issues 🛳🛳👍

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

4 out of 5

We ate conch right next to the ship. It was a red cabin call burgers & something ( I’m sorry but I forgot the other name ) it was recommended by a few crew members. ( damn it was delicious ) & a few good deals when you get off the ship & make a right turn.

Yes the main dining room is not fast food. The buffet is much quicker and generally has many of the same dishes. I really like the MDR if I'm not in a hurry. It is a time to relax an talk with your family or friends or to get to know new people. Fancy restaurants on land are also known for very slow service. I ate at a restaurant in a Ritz Carlton that took over 3 hours. The idea is that it is an experience not just food.
