Review summary

This was a OK cruise, nothing special about it. If you are less than 6hrs away from the port it may be worth it ..any futher than that I wouldn't do it. I've been on many cruises and this may have to be one of the worse..

Embarkation

2 out of 5

Had faster to the fun and went thru the process as fast as everyone else.. got there at about 11:30 am .. be ready for the $100 parking fee..

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

The ships crew do a good job on service. they seem to somewhat care.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5

If I could give this a negative star would.. I got bit by something in my bed all down my arm and side down to my legs. My wife did too just not as bad.. the crew had to come in and take out the beds and sheets.

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5

Ship tip

Don"t go.. needs update and I've never seen a ship have to have fans blowing on their hallway floors the whole trip to keep them dry!!!

First cruise

Wonderful cruise

This was my 1st time cruising. But everything went really good. From the people all the way to the food were excellent. The only thing that was bad was the elevators and no service. Would be great if the ship could have their own phone carrier package.
