Review summary

The boat was too rocky and it was not a good first experience. The service was terrible and the food was ok but they need to have more choices. Wasn't impressed at all. Maybe my next cruise will be better. I hope

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The food was ok. I just wish we had more choices to choose from. The dining room was ok other than the movement of the boat.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

There wasn't much activities to do on the Ecstacy. Not an enjoyable trip because I was sick the entire time from motion sickness

Entertainment

3 out of 5

The Dj was awesome. I don't have much to say about the other entertainment.

Children's Programs

Didn't have little children

Service and Staff

2 out of 5

The service was terrible. The phone line was always busy at the front desk. The bathroom smelt like a sewer, it took the steward a while to come and unclog the toilet, and some threw up outside our room. They sprinkled the stuff down for the odor but didnt clean up the mess for three hours after I called and complained.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

They kept the ship very clean

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

They replaced the towels and emptied the trash

Ship tip

Don't sail on the Ecstacy in November. The water was rough and scary. By all means go on a bigger ship. I noticed a lot of training going on. The staff didn't have enough experience.
