Review summary

food needs to be better for the buffets, would not eat at Guy's restaurant items as they don't taste fresh.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
a little frenzied at first, once got through the final scanning process it was good.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
buffet was mediocre, food set out too long especially the bread items ie eggs benedict, became hard as a rock and inedible. specialty restaurant was nice, $15.00 for a 1/4 glass of wine was outrageous., thought the wine was included in $38 price as it showed pairing of wine with each course, they need to be more clear on their menu.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
only one thing, Michaels crafting was also mediocre, the press on sheets given weren't that great. I didn't know what to expect, if I can afford to go on another cruise I will know better.

Entertainment

heard the comedy club entertainment can be quite raunchy in language, and not my cup of tea so to speak

Children's Programs

no children with

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
all of the staff were great and hard working.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
TV kept going out, would only get the menu and unable to watch unless Anna came to disconnect and reconnect the TV, also the "frig" was lukewarm, My sister's cabin 8319 had a working "frig", so my bottle water was always room temperature.

Ship tip

change the level 5 casino to non smoking as everyone has to walk through there to get to other parts of the ship.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

4 out of 5
I wish there would be more "local" art to purchase rather than MADE IN CHINA junk

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
very seamless,

Appreciate your feedback.

You can navigate around the casino and get anywhere you need to be on the ship. If the casino bothers you that much with the smoke, it does take a little bit of effort to avoid it.

Never assume alcohol is included in a restaurant. Assume it is not or if you think it might, just ask. I never paid much attention to how good the crease was done in my sheets, probably why I didn't notice all the mediocre food.

Maybe when you become the CEO, you can make changes
