Review summary

Overall great vessel!!! Hurricane Dorian kept us from porting at the typical areas. Captain kept everyone updated on the progress and process they were following for customer and crew safety.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
No issues getting onboard. The staff at Port Canaveral has it all together. One of the best ports I've been to

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We typically had dinner and breakfast or brunch daily in the MDR. The food was excellent; better than most cruises I've been on. We also enjoyed the burgers and taco's at lunch. Service was quick and food was well prepared.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Comedy club was very good, offering PG and Adult comedy at different hours. Shows were of typical good quality. The highlight was the out door deck party with the CD, get a good seat near the stage and pool early; it was packed!!

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Violin couple performing at the lobby bar were great.

Service and Staff

Excellent service from the entire team.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Older ship was well maintained and clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
U243 Aft extended balcony. Good size room, larger TV than other cruises I've been on. There is a new sliding door to the balcony. Room was clean and serviced twice daily. Bathroom had an odor of mold. Though thoroughly spraying my Lysol multiple times, this did not help.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

4 out of 5
The port is well organized with plenty of parking on site.
