Review summary
This was our first cruise and probably our last cruise. We choose this cruise because we have always wanted to see Grand Cayman. Boarding was good but that was the only thing good about it. This ship apparently had one engine down so the ship could not cut thru the waves this made walking very rough. First few days it was hard to keep your food and drink on the table. We were told 48 hours prior to leaving that we could not stop at Grand Caymen due to technical issues, but we would visit costa maya instead. We did not visit either of these ports, the ship did not have enough power to get into port. This was so disappointing!! On the 3rd day another engine blew so we just kind of floated around, which we didn't mind, because that meant less rockyness on the boat. The food was the same everynight and had no flavor, but the wait staff was friendly. Bartenders were no friendly at all. 4th night sewage backed up and the stairwells smelled so bad. We had no water for several hours and when we finally did get watrer, it was rusty. The compensation was a $25 on board credit to spend on the ship. I felt this ship was not safe to begin with had we known about the first engine being down we would not have taken this cruise but with two engines gone it
