Review summary

I don’t believe i will go back on the magic after this experience of the entertainment and the food services in the morning.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Not too bad. Always nice leaving the states to head to the heat!!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Buffets- the eggs were not that great and there was no chocolate milk the last three days, and some buffets closed too early.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Did not feel there was much going on as there was last year in 2019.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Crew did not seem as upbeat as last year. Also did not like how the lip sync battle, the same exact songs were chosen from the year before. Each year the songs should be changed! Also did not feel that it was fair that someone who had already one, was given another opportunity to win again and was given the best song to perform to and he won.

Children's Programs

No children

Service and Staff

Port was not as great. Did not like that we were there until 11pm. Not worth the long stay.

No chocolate milk and mediocre eggs...oh the humanity...you are right to give up cruising on this hellhole ship.

It's the same on all cruise lines. We been on RC same questions on love and marriage. Same thing in alot of the entertainment. Last year we had a comedian and it was exact same lines and all from a 2013 cruise we did and was different comedian also

Try another cruise line. We experienced a similar itinerary and had a wonderful time.

Sorry this cruise did not meet your expectations! We had a wonderful time (yes, I was on the same cruise). While we didn’t stay ashore late, I thought the extra time in Curaçao was great. The “sunset shore tour” sold out quickly. Maybe you need to try a different ship and/or cruise line.

Curacao is amazing. Most people complain about short port times, you complained because you had too much time. Can't make everyone happy.
