Review summary

I probably will not cruise on this ship again. I love the Paradise better, same size ship, but more comfortable for me.

Embarkation

2 out of 5
They kept us standing in the sun for way to long, standing in line way to long, I have never had this type of embarkation before. we always got right in and sat down and waited. Standing as long as we did had my knees swelling up, I had asked repeatedly for wheelchair assistance , never got it. No water for us while we stood in the hot humid air.

Entertainment

The first night on board, we went to watch the comedian, when I sat down, the server was bringing drinks to the table, a large glass had slipped out of his hand and shattered on the table shooting slivers of glass down my leg. Had trouble the rest of the cruise from this, the serve apologized alot, I felt bad for him, I should of mentioned it while I was on board. I did go to the front desk and ask for packing tape to remove the small shards that were in my shoes.

While getting off on to the other boat, the hallway we walked down had holes in the floor that the carpet covered up. That was scary!

Very expensive, Straw market was kinda scary, most of the isles were dark and unlit, people didn't even give you a chance to look before they pounced on you. I cant tell you how many offers I had to get my hair braided.

BuffyG, it's an older ship, the staff was really friendly, idk how to explain it, you may love it, I've had 7 cruises, my favorite ship is the Paradise, dont let people posting their experiences change your mind.

Our group preferred paradise over the sensation as well.
