Review summary

I would not consider this cruise a 3.9 There were many problems, delays and waiting every day, unnecessarily.

Embarkation

1 out of 5

0 stars. They made us wait outside in line for 3 hours claiming there was a delay of 500 passengers in their debarkation. People were passing out, fighting, irritated etc

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

Only one quarter of the buffet was ever open during all the peak dinner times. It was like they wanted us to wait in line. And they had one server rationing dishes so that caused a huge delay in the line. The “jumbo and tiger shrimp “ were small to medium at best. Don’t use the word jumbo if it isn’t!!!

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Pools were the smallest I’ve ever seen on that size of a cruise ship. People were wall to wall

It sounds to me like Cruising is not your ideal vacation. With that many people there is bound to be lines to wait in. I have read the posts from several people about the wait at embarkation. It is a shame that people were all waiting that long. But it is my understanding that notifications were sent out to everyone ahead of time that there would be a delay.
