Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
I was traveling with 2 women and requested dining with others. We were stuck at a table for 4 in the corner table 302 We couldn't see the waiters when they performed toward the end of a meal. Waiter didn't put our napkins on our laps and they didn't refill our water glasses. Most of the time they took the water jar and forgot to bring it back. They were great remembering our names and bringing my grand daughters dr pibb each night.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
I'm used to activities going on around the pool and they were very sparse on this cruise. The last night there was a pool party that the program indicated was a fee charge to attend? Cruise director to. USU to interact with cruisers.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Loved the comics, dancers/ singers and show with in the piano bar with the crew singing.

Children's Programs

No one under 18 with us

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
I am used to cabin steward cleaning 3 times a day or at least straightening up and refreshing towels. I had to ask for them to vacuum and leave towels for 3. Waiters at the buffet were great. Dinner waiters were great, just had to many tables to take care of. Waiter in the comic club turned out to be a jerk. His name is Mihail Nasteski.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Loved the smaller size ship. Easy to get around.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5
I was expecting a pull down bed for our 3rd person. Ended up being a cot placed on the floor under the desk and was short for her. 18 year old and the bed was for a toddler. Closet space was full of bedding and took up much of our clothing space making it so we had to share shelving. If the bedding hadn't been there we would have had adequate space for 3 people's clothing and stuff. I've shared rooms with people on other lines and never had to sleep on the floor. 🙁

Ship tip

Loved having a room on the 11th floor. Loved the size of the shop.

Ports of call

San Juan, Puerto Rico
