Ship Quality

4 out of 5

The ship was clean. The casino was so full of smoke I could not even walk through much less gamble. The smoke kept me out of the lobby bar as it was smoke filled as well. There was no ventilation.

Awesome cruise director and fun squad.

Thumbs up

Ports of call

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico Did not visit port

Nearly half the ship was priority and we were late getting ghost into the port. I did not want to stand in line to take a tender ashore or wait to get back on the ship.

Cartagena, Colombia

There was no shuttle to the port entrance. It was a long walk to the port entrance. After walking back we only had one gangway. There were two but they would not let us use it. There were no chairs, shade or water at shipside and it was hot. I don’t think it was set up very well.

Disembarkation

1 out of 5

Disorganized. We were group 4 getting off the ship. The timing was based on clearing customs. We got to baggage claim and the bags were not available to pick up as they were not off loaded yet. They needed us to get off the ship in a timely manner but they had not off loaded the baggage.
