Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Main dining was fine, nothing spectacular besides the chocolate lava cake and the Chef's selection Indian meal each night.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Got a massage that was really not a good experience. She asked exactly where my pain was but she barely touched it. Why even ask if you're just going to ignore that? I was also given the wrong paperwork when I was taken back to the seating area. No one came to check on me so I sat there for a while with the wrong papers not really knowing what to do. It was overall not a good experience when I was really, REALLY looking forward to it after 18 hours or traveling to the cruise port.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Outdated, underwhelming, and the magician was terrible. The only redeeming show was the rock show.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5

Outdated, tattered, broken decor in the dining room, stained carpets, glitchy elevators...

Cabin / Stateroom

I had a balcony so that was redeeming.

Maybe have carts to get everyone to the port? That's a very long walk due to the construction. Doesn't make it very welcoming but I understand construction must happen. It would have been nice to have rides for people who couldn't walk the path easily.

Keep the food open longer! We walked all over trying to find it and when we finally did, it was done. Disappointing for a fun beach day.
