Review summary

it was a cruise, so it wasn't all bad, but of the 15 we've taken so far, this was definitely the worst ... and by a long shot.  don't get me wrong, there were bright spots, our room steward being one, but this ship functioned as though it was short-staff for the entire week.  biggest problem?  too many closures (especially food options) resulting in long lines where things were open. 

carnival?  never again - no matter how inexpensive it is.

our steward was the best part of our cruise. excellent. room lacked space to hang long dresses, but now we know why: NO ONE BROUGHT THEM SINCE THE DRESS CODE WASN'T ENFORCED IN THE DINING ROOM!!!!!

Ship tip

don't miss your dining room meals if you want to eat. if you wait too long for lunch, the entire buffet is likely to be closed - ALL FOUR SECTIONS OF IT AT THE SAME TIME!!!

Thank you for sharing. I was on the same cruise. The lines were not as long as I anticipated and moved pretty quickly. My concerns were the food temperature on the buffet were never hot and at times not even warm. There is such limited food choices late in the evening. I would like to see Guy's burgers open later than 6pm and the same with the Blue Iguana. I have no idea why they close so early. Other than that, the food was pretty good and by virtue of the fact that it was covered in the price of the cruise, I cannot really complain about anything other than food temperature because that could pose a health concern.

We are going on our 7th cruise in Feb.My husband said to me on our 2nd honey we can pick apart the parts we don't like or we can embrace the parts we love because we are fortunate to even have a vacation. Love is opinion and his outlook on life.

You are so right.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. We must not forget that usually the ships are full, therefore, there are a lot of people & there will be lines. I've been on 1cruise with Royal & 6 with Carnival. They've all been great bcs there's so many choices of things to do or not do & food to eat or not eat. Last cruise was Sept. 19 on the Glory & I can't say enough good things, about the ship, crew & islands. As humans will never be 100% satisfied with anything, maybe bcs we're spoiled in this country with all the choices we have. In the islands you see a lot of poverty but most people are friendly & seen happy. Sometimes too much is not good. Just my humble opinion.

Thank you for your review. What cruise lines or ships have you used that you would use again in the future?

O.K. I haven't been. But.... well. I hope I love my upcoming cruise.
