Review summary

I don’t know if I’ll cruise again. I’d rather stay somewhere for the week and get my $s worth.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Super easy

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The food is ok. The lines for breakfast were too long. The pizza guy was annoyed any time I asked for gluten free pizza… but I have an allergy to gluten.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Casino, bingo, deal or no deal, trivia These were fun but we weren’t allowed to get off at half moon cay because the water was choppy… so of the 5 day cruise we only went to two places. They didn’t feel ready to entertain the day we couldn’t leave the boat

Cheesy

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Carlos in the main dining room was amazing. The spa employees trick you into spending the first day you board but hold off because literally the next day they have sales. They also auto gratuity every bill without telling you so be aware.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Not the best. The sunshine dining room is hard to find and get to

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5

I wish I could share a video because words don’t do it justice. The AC didn’t work or the shower. The shower was a dribble of water and it was ice cold. I had to go to the gym to shower every day and take all my stuff. The gym shower was also freezing. We mentioned it to our room attendant daily with no resolution. See photo

Ship tip

It feels way older than Marco gras and magic

Blue lagoon wasn’t as good as I had hoped. It’s very shallow.

We weren’t allowed to get off-the captain told the entire boat as we were ready to water taxi off.

Sorry for your bad experience. We have been lucky on our cruises. Hope you have a better experience next time. I take a cruise to relax and do a few things. Thanks for sharing

Appreciate your feedback. This ship IS older than the Magic and Mardi Gras. If you’ve been on those ships, you should know about the standard gratuities and it is listed on your booking invoice (options to prepay). Sorry you were disappointed. I’d be most unhappy as well, if my shower didn’t work.
