Review summary

This was our first cruise and we were disappointed for the most part. Not enough entertainment. Entertainment was geared too much toward children - didn't know we booked a Disney cruise . We spend 5 days at sea and only 2 on land . Too many days at sea and was boring after the 2nd day or so. Music left something to be desired. Ship decor looked like something out of early 90s.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Food was plentiful and tasted good for the most part. Desserts were the worst I every had.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

Not enough entertainment. Other than comedy club everything else was mediocre, nonexistent, or not open/people did not attend. Because of this people are forced to drink and eat out of boredom. Gambling was a default activity as there was nothing else to do.

Entertainment

1 out of 5

Umm, what entertainment. See comment under "Onboard Activities". I will say the 80s show was pretty cool.

Children's Programs

N/A

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Most all crew members are very friendly and willing to help to make experience as pleasant as possible. There was two female staff (one that worked in "The Cherry on Top" candy shop; other in the gift shop) that needed attitude adjustments. Cleaning staff was always with smile on face. Most all food staff was very friendly.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Very clean ship!! This is the best thing the cruise has going for it.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Cabin was nice size. But was hot at night making sleeping a bit uncomfortable.
