Review summary

1) No access to ESPN or ESPN for college football.

2) Staff was very condescending.

3) This is probably my last cruise due to poor service.

4) I have been cruising for about 15 years and I have never had the low quality of service that I had on this ship.

5) Shows were reruns of shows I saw two years ago.

The bar at at back on the promenade outside the comedy club can normally pick up espn if you request it. You can not get espn in your rooms.

Seem to me that at least one of the bars on board was a dedicated sports bar. I don't know what there schedule was but there was always some game on. Is drone racing a sport?

The worst far as the service was bad, ship needs to be upgraded... Asap and the shows was next to none! Very little to do but eat, drink, and gamble! So I did all 3 and had fun! 😀
