Review summary

Great ship. My only complaint was our cabin. I received a call prior to sailing offering an upgrade from our interior cabins to ocean view cabins. WELL... one cabin was a regular ocean view, but our cabin was an adjoining cabin. Our neighbors were LOUD, rude, disruptive, and lacked basic etiquette. The gentleman “hacked up loogies” EARLY (before sunrise) every morning; they argued about him having “streaks” in his underwear; and their normal conversation volume was always set to MAX. The cabin had one shared door separating the cabins. Not like a hotel with 2 doors to help buffer sounds. We could see the light from their cabin and hear EVERYTHING they did and said. And I’m positive they could also hear my sister and I. It made our time in our cabin unbearable. The ship was at capacity so we weren’t able to move 🤦🏽‍♂️. Next time I will be sure to check the map to see where the cabin is and to ensure it is not an adjoining cabin to complete strangers. Food options were pretty good Pool and hot tubs were always crowded. Was able to enjoy the slides and pool while others were in port. Cabin was clean. Nice views from window. Not happy about our neighbors in the adjoining cabin. Entertainment was good. MarQ is an high energy cruise director that will keep you laughing and smiling. Staff was GREAT! Embarking was a SLOW and LONG process. The hurry and wait dampened our mood. Disembarking was a SLOW and LONG process, but what else is new. Overall - good vacation.
