Review summary

Not what we expected-over promised and then sort of ignored by the upper powers. No real outreach once they got money and costs were too much.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Went okay, seemed to be a smooth process but not warm!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Tried restaurant once-service S L O W. Prices seemed too much. Ate in buffet areas and were pleased with cleanliness and staff. Missed dinner rolls, biscuits, etc.?

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Pools were small but it was cold so few swam. Shows were not that enticing. Not a casino person.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Family Feud sort of fun, music a bit scarce and not that inclusive. Entertainers seemed tired and going through routine

Children's Programs

2 out of 5
Blah and sort of patronizing. "We do not do one-on-one."

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Room personnel fine, food area staff good. Cruise Director not real or personable.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
A bit more signage might help. Was fore when needed aft and vice versa! Could see some age in ship but no issues at all until we were leaving. Came back on final day before check-out and our room had been stripped and re-configured. Sort of felt pusjed out.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
A bit cold at times but neat with excellent storage.

Ship tip

Be considerate of others--polite, not over-imbibing nor lofty with VIP perks.

Ports of call

Baltimore, Maryland

4 out of 5

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

4 out of 5

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

4 out of 5

Disembarkation

2 out of 5
Child was ill, Cruise Director played favorites and the whole express thing was backward! Finally, a passing lady told us to go ahead-we should not have had to wait! The people welcoming us home were lovely.

If you look out the window you know where you are on ship. Hope this helps.

Seems like you are not quite happy with your cruise. Did something happen to make everything so bad?

Thanks for sharing. Your Review Summary is confusing. It would have been helpful to all of us if you had elaborated on what it means to be "sort of ignored by the upper powers". Who is that? The Captain?
