Review summary

We tried to book as so the kids were back in school! Don’t get me wrong we love kids! Behaved ones. Understand its not easy but theres always the few who ruin it for all!! We wanted a quick get away relax. Went to the Serenity deck to relax but the kids movies were playing and the slide is right in front of this deck so all the squeals going down and the loud movie ?? Not quite the “relax”!!!

Food and Dining

Food was just so so in the Lido deck! I could not believe how some were not dressed! Bathing suits or strings walking in no shoes no cover ups! It was not enforced! The steakhouse was great! Service impeccable! Ate in the dining rooms after Lido experience!!

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
We did Bingo but its a $27 charge for 3 cards. The comedians were just so! The “movies outdoors would have been great but they were for kids Shreck and another! Did participate in Trivia. That was fun our team won!! Way way too many people for the ship

Our attendant was great! Things to know! This IS NOT a new ship. A little dated but room comes with blow dryer. Not the one you have high powered in your bathroom!! The bathroom is for 1 person at a time. There is a magnifying mirror attached to mirror! We asked for a couple more towels and got them. These people work relentless to make you happy. I did as i always do traveling. Spray lysol on everything! I carry wipes which I wipe down remote door handles light switches but the room was clean.

Ship tip

It depends! If your looking for large unruly crowds go for it. Designated smoking?? Joke!! People smoking at pool one had just put her cigarette out in the elevator so when door opened smoke came out !! She says yeah my cigs are in my hand “not me”!! Then we had the little ones next door to us 5-7??!! Jumped kicked beat walls floors screaming until 11:15!! Security was called! Their mom finally came to cabin and hallway yelling how rude everyone was!! Older teens yelling over rail to someone on 3rd floor “M F Nxx”!!!! He said it was his cousin down there!! Then the “lost” girl that the intercom 3rd floor desk kept announcing Shaniquie Thom??? Please contact 7777. Around 6:05 am 3 times only to find her and a couple more passed out in a lawn chair!! But now everyones awake!! Several on our floor were laughing wanting to bet how many times pursers desk would page on embarkment day!! At least we could joke. (4) lol started announcing at 5:45am!! We didn’t care we all but ran off the ship!!!

Appreciate your detailed feedback. Like Spring Break, the start of school varies across the country. Unruly passengers (no matter the age) can ruin a cruise. Glad you had a quick getaway. Wish we lived close enough to do so.

Agree, we only go while school is in session.

We Never book in summer. Between Thanksgiving and Christmas is great, or after about January 15th. Unruly parents....

I have enjoyed carnival, but only when kids are in school. It’s not the kids but parents that are too lazy and inconsiderate to do their job as parents.
