This was rather disappointing- felt like my wallet was of more interest than my enjoyment.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
Mr Pibb was always flat! service was extremely slow in the Barracius dining room. Up to 3 hrs to be served. Drinks were allowed to go unfilled. Often orders were mixed up. Escargot was a joke they were pea sized there was more sauce then escargot! The baked apple was disgusting. The selection on the buffet was often limited. The bacon often inedible at breakfast. Most foods were spicy in nature and I am unable to eat spicy. So, I was really regulated to very little.
Onboard Activities

most were very late or during our dinning time- if it didn't take so long we could of enjoyed what was offered. Used to be able to watch tv - but now they charge for movies or the selection of cable tv were bizarre movies.

Cabin / Stateroom
1 out of 5
Our Steward was awesome. Now onto the issues. This was the smallest cabin have had the displeasure of dealing with. Don't roll over in your sleep you will either hit the wall or fall off the bed. Our balcony door whistled the entire trip. Our thermostat was set on ice box, we had to request blankets because they 'fixed' it and all it did was stay at ice box.
Ship tip
expect them to pick your pockets for every little thing.
we asked for a wheel chair to the restaurant at the beach since My Mother injured her leg. Got one down- they took it back and we asked for one return... and they never showed. Had to hunt down waiter to pay our bill. Food was excellent. Our excursion was not exactly Pirates, Monkey's and Birds. less then 10 mins on pirates on a tiny display does not need top billing. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and fun.
Again limited options for food. We took the river cruise - since they had 7 days of rain the waters were muddy. Spent 30 plus minutes looking for a manatee to pop their noses up- couldn't see them due to murky waters. The guys would stop for an iguana on a dime - but fly by birds, flowers and other interesting sights. Saw a single croc. Surprised to see a howler monkey with her baby. I understand we can not predict animal sightings... but to fly by other items of interest. On top of it all .... our boat had a propeller fall off! Making us late to return to the ship in time to have lunch- our should I say more than 5 mins to select before they closed the buffet.
This port is always a delight- my third time. The shops are reasonably priced. Food selection awesome. We did the pasion isle excursion. Didn't realize we would have so much down time or would of brought a book. LUNCH was excellent. Staff friendly. The shops on the isle were pricey.
