Review summary

Overall underwhelmed with this cruise. Food and entertainment were just okay. Port time feels rushed and be prepared to be rushed off the ship. Also if you purchase liquor, they do not secure it. Bottom of box fell or before we even made it to customs.

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The main dining rooms were nice. The complimentary beverages were straight concentrate. They must not know they should be diluted. Entirely too sweet. Would have liked more options for after the buffet closed and late night. Also wished the burger joint offered more than beef.

Entertainment

Enjoyed the comedy show. Didn’t feel there was a variety of live music. Would have enjoyed some live rnb music.

Our steward Sigut was excellent.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Outside of the ship needs a pressure washing. What good are windows if you can’t see through them?

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

The cabin was spacious and comfortable.

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana

Cozumel, Mexico

Longer times at the ports would be much better. You barely have time to enjoy your excursions. Docking until 7 or 9 pm would be much better.

Disembarkation

1 out of 5

This was absolutely terrible. The ship gave out instructions with times the day prior for which plans were made. Then totally went by an entirely different schedule. They literally kicked us off the boat while eating breakfast. Don’t make a schedule for which people plan and totally disregard it! Didn’t even have a chance to pick up some last minute photos I planned to purchase.
