Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Main dining room- good dinners, good variety. Buffets- mediocre food but quick to get through. Omelet bar at the Havana bar was great in the mornings. Loved Guy’s Burgers.

BlueIguana Tequila Bar

5 out of 5

Great drinks and great service with a smile every time.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

I didn’t do a lot of activities this time. I did enjoy lounging by the pool and sitting in the adult pool. Unfortunately there were not enough lounge chairs and many of the chairs were “reserved” by people and left unused for hours. Hot tubs were always full.

Sunshine Casino

3 out of 5

Too Smokey! Roulette was a lot of fun. Needed more craps tables.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

For having such a small entertainment team they were great!! Young and enthusiastic. The comedians were great.

Children's Programs

Did not bring my kids this time.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

It was close to the front of the ship so it had a lot of movement and I felt seasick for the first time in 5 cruises. Our bathroom smelled horrible like sulfur the first day and randomly through the rest of the cruise. The shower didn’t have hot water a few times. Our room was always clean and staff was very friendly.

Ship tip

Get to shows/ activities early if you want a good seat or a seat at all, especially the comedy shows.
