The ports were fun. The cruise ship was disappointing in a few ways. We were a group of 12 that they made us split up instead of being together for the evening dining. The ship itself was worn,stained and not always clean. The food was mediocre.

Review summary

Ship was worn and not well maintained. Food ok. Our personal evening dining experience was frustrating because we weren’t all seated together. The staff were wonderful— a redeeming part of the cruise.

City tour and beach were great. Constant badgering by vendors almost ruined day. Some of our group did parasailing which was great.
