Review summary

The cruise was okay. There needs to be a kiddie pool. Being a Celiac, eating was difficult except for the dinners. There were three of us in one family with gluten issues so it was frustrating.  It was clean. Entertainment was NOT family friendly. Lots of profanity and vulgarity in dancing. Maybe the world is okay with that but my family is not.  Other cruises I have been on have never had such rank entertainment.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Please label gluten free foods. It would make it so much easier!

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
My teenagers thought the clubs were lame.

Entertainment

1 out of 5
Vulgar and rank. Other cruises we have been on did not have such language or rank shows. I expected more from a cruise line that 'caters' to families.

Children's Programs

1 out of 5
Teens thought the programs were lame. Times it was open didn't make much sense either.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The people who could understand that we were gluten free were very helpful.

Real shopping is too far to walk and costs a taxi ride.

Avoid the Paranas that try to get you to take their services.

@kathiez, if you have assigned seating (a specific time set up each night), just let them know the first night in the dining room that you need gluten free meals and they will give you the menu for each night. They then will ask you to pick all of your choices, however, your first night, you will need to make those choices and hope that you are choosing safely. #gfchocolatemeltingcakefan

They will accommodate dietary needs if you call ahead of time and make arrangements.

This was not one of the best ships to go on, sorry. Not my cup of tea. People we met were very nice.
