Review summary

Stressful. Kids running up and down the hallways at 11pm and adults partying until 2-3am. Could not sleep and crew did nothing after several complaints. Couldn’t wait to be home! Positive note...We loved the various, creative towel creations left on our bed each night 😊

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Went smoothly. It was very exciting as this was our first cruise.

Mediocre. Some were off key when singing so it was hard to fully enjoy.

Our children were not with us so we didn’t pay attention.

Ship tip

Don’t book a room near any main traffic areas and if you want a peaceful and relaxing experience, stay away from holidays and spring break when there are more kids.

@Dutch3901-I certainly didn’t mean to offend anyone as you have me. This was our personal opinion and experience. I really don’t think it has anything to do with the individual. I didn’t think I was supposed to be dishonest with my answer in a review.

A review of your April 2016 cruise. Whenever someone says “HATE HATE HATE” Ensenada, it tells me all I need to know about the reviewer... 🤔
