Review summary

Out of the seven cruises we have been on this was definitely the worst. The service just wasn’t there. No one wants to stand in line at the bar for 20 minutes to get a drink.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
The embarkation was a pleasant surprise. It was very easy. They were very helpful with my mom. They helped her bypass the lines and get on the ship faster. She recently had surgery.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The food was not as good on this cruise. The food often arrived cold in the dining room. Getting a drink of any kind was a chore. Waiters were scarce.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The activities were very good as usual. No complaints.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The shows were great. We especially enjoyed the comedy shows.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
The service just wasn’t there like on previous cruises. The dining room staff was slim. We waited a lot longer than usual on food and drinks.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Food was left in the hallways outside of rooms for hours. My son slipped on a spoon. Not good at all.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
As good as one could expect for an interior cabin.

Ship tip

Don’t expect too much. We have cruised several times. This was very unremarkable.

Ports of call

Charleston, South Carolina

5 out of 5

Nassau, Bahamas

1 out of 5
Beach was trashed. Roads and sidewalks need repairs. Rained heavily all day.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5

Disembarkation

2 out of 5
When the cruise is over don’t expect much. They were so helpful getting my mother onto the ship. When it was time to get off that help was not so readily available.
