Review summary

Overall was just okay.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Little delay to our time slot due to them running behind schedule > also some jumping ahead of their groups being called and allowed to go ahead anyway.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Like many others have said > buffet and main dining food quality was NOT good. Yes we’re just coming out of the worldly mess but for sure the quality of items was easily noticed.

Seafood Shack

1 out of 5

They close at 9> ordered at 8:15 on app and arrived after half hour to them saying they had no order from us > had to find someone that could look and they found the order. Should have canceled as they stayed late to make the order and it was overcooked and the lobster rolls had no flavor. Had purchased a coupon and they would not take it if you ordered on the app > waited forever at GS and then the Steakhouse to get a refund but being the last night and late no one was of help and never did get refunded as they said in the morning it would be handled.

Meridian Restaurant

1 out of 5

Food was not good - normally will eat here more than specialty but first formal night turned us away > did go back for second formal and wished we didn’t. Servers were splitting up duties so there was some confusion but for sure they were trying and second night we were alone at the table as other two couple didn’t show > service was great that night.

Guy's Pig & Anchor BBQ Smokehouse Brewhouse

5 out of 5

Food was great at both lunch and dinner!!!

Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse

2 out of 5

Was highly disappointed with the steak quality along with our servers were not great/very confused with things and got orders incorrect for our table along with the three along next to us.

Bonsai Sushi

5 out of 5

This was our very best dining experience of the cruise! The sushi and steak was absolutely perfect!!!

Entertainment

2 out of 5
Playlist cast was not that great so the shows were just okay. The violinists were really good! Like all others state > comedy needs a MUCH bigger venue!!!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room Steward GiGi was awesome!! All other staff were pleasant as always and very attentive to things.

Ship tip

Large selection of items/things to do > made for areas to be smaller and compact. Study to see if that fits your style/needs > definitely do not think it would have been enjoyable if was at 100% sailing capacity.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

4 out of 5

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Second week in a row they were struggling and announcing the process was taking longer than expected > was fine by us as never in a hurry to leave and book later flights anyway > allowed for more time to just relax in the sun after a leisurely breakfast.

We were on the Horizon back in December when it had propulsion issues. Skipped 2 ports and took 4-days to get back to Miami. We'll do it again some other time.
