Review summary

If you are an alcoholic and love loud obnoxious music, this cruise is for you!! However, if you are a regular person, avoid this ship at all costs. Here are just a few of the things to consider: 1. The entertainment on this ship consists totally of various people being way too loud and their "Liquid Lounge" has terrible shows you can't see anyway because of the horrible design of the room. 2. The elevators are not normal. They have this "new design" that causes you to wait very long times for a car. Everybody was complaining about the wait times. I estimate we spent 4 hours of our cruise waiting for elevators. 3. The floors in many places are glazed tile and are extremely slippery. Numerous people fell on our cruise. When I mentioned this to a crew member, their comment was "Please report it, we can't but they are very dangerous. Lots of people fall!" 4. The cabins are smaller than any other cruise I have been on. 5. The restaurants that sport Guy Fieri's names SUCK. The burgers are horrible and burned. And the Bar b Que is an insult to the term. He should be ashamed to have his name on these, but he probably doesn't care as long as the checks keep coming. 6. This complete focus of this ship is alcohol!! If you wan to be drunk 24/7 you will love it! The ONLY bright spot on this ship was the food in the main dining room. Every meal we had there was excellent. Our wait staff were wonderful. Suggestion: There are WAY to many good cruises and ships to waste your money on this company!!

Ship Quality

The design sucks and the elevators are the worst ever invented. They have developed a "new" method of getting an elevator and the only thing is is good at is making you wait!

Cabin / Stateroom

Cabin was the same as virtually every other cruise line's except smaller.
