Review summary

The people on our cruise we're ghetto, rude and just disappointing. No food places we're open to eat except deli sandwiches and pizza, the ship was so outdated and didn't have much for people to enjoy. Will never cruise again

Embarkation

1 out of 5
We will never be cruising again, the ship rocked so much the entire time it was hard to shower, get ready, walk, all anyone could do was sleep.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
The sit down restaurant was horrible, they had the same food at the buffet that was better. They seemed to close do2n the buffet during peek hours like when getting back ok the ship from the ports which made no sense as everyone was hungry the only place open was the deli or pizza so we basically ate pizza our entire cruise which sucks because we were looking forward to the eating mixed food options.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
The gym was ok, plenty of treadmills with it had more space for lifting, i mean you walk so much on the ship why have 30 treadmills and 10 machines. We did the trivia because their wasn't much else on the ship.

Entertainment

1 out of 5
We went to see the ghoul show, they didn't perform at all, just sat and sang. I get the ship rocked but they could've at least danced to an extent. The 80s show was much more entertaining as they did dance and performed within safety boundaries

Service and Staff

Ship Quality

Old and small

Cabin / Stateroom

Size was ok for 2 people. The bed was not that comfortable felt like I was on a day bed.

If you like the ghetto atmosphere, small ship with nothing open this is for you.

Each cruise ship is different. Best to research what you’re truly looking for when booking a cruise. It helps to know the amenities as you would with any other vacation/hotel etc… Sorry this ship wasn’t to your liking.

The el cheap o cruises are the Walmart’s of the sea. Expect riff-raff cruisers.

There are so many cruise lines with many cruise ship options for each of them. It takes more than one cruise to figure out what makes you happy.

Is this your first cruise? Sorry you felt it was “to ghetto.” We always meet wonderful people on board and have so much fun!

I've always been under the assumption, it takes being ghetto to know if something is ghetto🤷‍♀️
