Review summary

It was overall awful. Weve been on many cruises and this one smelled horrible and was just not enjoyable (again except for the wait staff of Oscar,I Ketut and Solomon).

Food and Dining

Most of the food was not good. The burgers and Taco station was great but the rest was just not good...

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

The deck was sourcing which made the slides difficult to use. The TVs in the fitness center weren’t even able to get the channels that you could in the room. One of the worst cruise fitness centers I’ve been in.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

We had the very best wait staff!! Oscar, I Ketut and Solomon were the highlight of our trip! My son has a peanut allergy and they all made sure he felt special and not like he was missing out! They truly were the best!

Ship Quality

2 out of 5

The deck was sorching. In order to get to the water slides you had to walk on the deck. It is not at all well thought out. Also much of the inside ship smelled like a porta-potty. It was disgusting. Also there are no umbrellas anywhere so if you want to be out to the sun you’re out of luck!

Cabin / Stateroom

Our room smelled horrible. It was hot and stuffy as well. When we called for it to be fixed, we got a canned response saying they were sorry the temperature was not to our liking, which told us it’s always and issue.
