Review summary

Overall we had a very relaxing trip. It started off rocky with embarkation by once aboard we had lots of fun. The cruise director Kevin was so funny and so was “BK” Kevin. The comedy shows were hilarious. The staff at Effy were rude.

Embarkation

2 out of 5

The ship had been dry docked prior to our cruise. The ship showed up late. We waited 2 1/2 hours to be processed through to get on the ship.

Food and Dining

Guy’s burger joint was really good. The ice cream machine was down for over half the cruise. The rest of the food was very disappointing.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5

We never saw our room steward, our telephone in our room didn’t work and reported it numerous times but no one ever addressed it. The wait staff at the imaginarionn restaurant were great. Both Kevin’s in the ship were great as well

Junkanoo beach had trash everywhere. If you didn’t have an excursion booked I would not recommend getting off the ship this day.

I have seen similar reviews in the past on ships that has just came out of dry dock. I remember alot of complaints about the Glory awhile back. We will allow a ship a few months after dry dock before cruising on her. Were they still workng on her during your cruise?
