Review summary

Not amazing, Would not board Spirit again! Pick another ship! Staff great , ship not great!!

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Easy to get on but long wait!!!! NOT even close to "boarding times"

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Food was not good. We have cruised before and this set up was very lack luster! No gluten free options for several meals and the Gluten Free bread was so bad I would not feed it to the birds !!!

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Considering the art was "always full", the scavenger hunt was terrible and all families should get something for participating(yes we are generation participation I know) but I can not change that fact and telling all the families they did not answer the questions correctly or fast enough seems a little over kill. Like just say scavenger hunt and let the kids pick a junky carnival prize for attempting to find the answers to questions they will never find. In previous cruises it was way better. They did a photo capture cruise where you needed to find certain things like a Congo line, a person in white shirt, etc. This is doable for families with small children( and that is what the majority of the families had!) the scavenger hunt was more like adult/teen.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Amazing. The best part of the whole trip!!

I wonder why more people enjoy the Spirt than don’t.

We were on the Spirit for ten days in October and loved it. The ship is smaller and older, but it was clean, well maintained and staffed with a wonderful crew.

Interesting. I have a friend that did the first two weeks of February on the Spirit back to back and loved it.
