Review summary

Overall it was a good vacation. But had several issues with our cards working for the rooms or drink package. My main complaint is there was minimal entertainment for ages 14-16. Basketball courts and other activities closed at 5pm. Several other sections of the ship closed early too.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The comedians were ok but was very upset that the last two had the exact same acts every night . We made a point to go watch them every night and wished they would have had a different act each night.

Children's Programs

Service and Staff

Mostly Rude; I thought we were their customers and should be treated as such but they made us feel put out by asking any questions or ordering anything.

Ship Quality

Smoking area was in a common path area. We couldn’t walk to coffee or comedy without smelling strong smoke.

Because there was “minimal” entertainment for 14-16 year olds you let that ruin everything. Not a fair review!!!

Sorry it didn’t live up to your expectations My husband on our first cruise had built his expectations so high that he was disappointed. The second cruise he knew what to expect and loved every minute of it. Your cruise vacation is just that, it’s your vacation,so it IS what YOU make it!

For comedians, they put the title of the show in the Fun Times so you can avoid seeing the same act twice.

Seems like cruising may not be the best option for you. Most love it, buts it’s not for everyone.
