Review summary

The food was great and it was great to be able to dine at our convenice.I was totally disappointed in the wait for a drink at the bars. Most of the bartenders ignored us because they where understaffed. Lucia was great though. If she was working we typically had no long wait. To bad the rest wasn't that way. There was one other guy at the pool bar that was amazing too. They are the only reason it's not a bad review. The few poolside activities was fun and highly entertaining like the hairy man and synchronized swimmers contest. There really should be more of these types of things. It helps socialize more people and it's entertaining.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

The ship is currently being remodeled a little at a time. The shops where not opened until late the night we left Mexico. Sad thing is that everything they sale is high prices and not really anything that is souvenir type gifts. I was really disappointed. Our toilet in our cabin also flooded a couple times.
