Review summary

The shortage of employees was noticeable, but the employees that they did have were great. Wish they wouldn't push for last minute deals to fill up the ship when they are short on folks.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Guys Burgers are always great.

The Chic Restaurant

4 out of 5

Enjoyed Sea Day brunch.Dinner was decent, but staff was great.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Freedom Band in Atrium was awesome every night, The musical in Victorian was pretty good,

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Understaffed, overworked, but awesome, Atrium bar staffing shortage is hurting their bottom line, unable to keep up with demand, but they were really good.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Very clean, but hard to find your way to everything. More signs would help. Too many dead end routes.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Clean and functional interior. Cristina was awesome steward.

Ship tip

Don't try self assist departure without realizing the extra work might be a waste of time,

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
13th cruise, worst disembarkation ever.Got up early to get the first baggage tag for early departure. Didn't get off until 9:30. Lots of furious people. Entire process for routing folks thru ship needs to be scrapped and reworked. CD blamed local port delay, but process should allow for delays. Once we got to luggage pick up area we flew thru.

We Love self assist!! After having things stolen from two of our luggages we will never put them in the hallway again. Very disappointing
