Review summary

Thanks for great memories! Kyndall Fire was funny and defiantly a plus for the week

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Always a bit crowded, and people antsy wanting to get going, not much the crew could have done

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Main dining was amazing! As was our wait staff!! Didn’t go to speciality dining. The buffet had generally same breakfast every day, a bit boring, lunch was a variety.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

I had huge blister on foot so was unable to benefit from the activities, but they appeared to be fun and a variety.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

The main shows were pretty cheesy, and with all that’s going on, should probably stop playing any of the Michael Jackson songs and dance tributes. The musicians were really good, the comedians did a lot of “jokes” that were at the expense of different races. Again, probably not the most PC thing yo be doing as the world is in so much turmoil. In fact the day of the Muslim massacre by the white supremacy, a comedian was making jokes that were not appropriate... you guys can do better.

Children's Programs

No minor kids

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Ahhhhhmazzzzzing!!! Knew our name, knew our drink order- helped out during a minor injury, great engagement with us... funny and heart warming!!!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Easy to navigate, lots of elevators, always cleaning

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Perfect for the two of us

Ship tip

Don’t get the Drink (alcohol) package, as you are off ship so much, generally won’t drink what the package is worth. If a punch ticket was available, that would be much better and cost efficient.
