Review summary

Overall, this was a good cruise. The crowd seemed to be over the age of 65 which may be due to the Tampa port. It was great to lay out on the balcony; most balconies do not allow the space to lay out. We did enjoy the comedians. We were occupied the whole time on the ship. Needed rest afterwards

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Enjoyed the fitness center, basketball, mini golf, ping pong, comedy shows and the love and marriage game. The rest of the activities were average

Entertainment

3 out of 5

DJs played the same late 90's music every night. Bands and entertainers/dancers were average. We enjoyed the comedians

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Room Steward, Bagus, was excellent. Wait staff was good but most of the time forgot to bring coffee at the end of the dinners

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Ship was clean but we did not like the decor. The layout was ok; there's always a learning curve.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Balcony had enough room to extend your legs/lay out, but the room had not been updated with upgraded electrical outlets; only 1 outlet and no USB

Ship tip

Only 1 electrical outlet in the room. The ship caters to a senior group

Does the pride use the cell for most everything, the way Mardi Gras does?

Even the updated ships ha e very limited outlets. I don't know that it's a "caters to older crowd" situation, as much as the general idea of a cruise is to unplug, get off grid. Personally I want to turn off my phone and not touch it for a week other than maybe to use for pictures
