Review summary

There was a “Swingers Takeover” group on this cruise. They made up half of the boat population. It was quite a distraction and by the end of the cruise, there was no subtlety. We definitely would’ve chosen different dates if we had known this. It wasn’t right to subject the whole boat to that.

Spa

4 out of 5

Spa service was great(massage) but the push to buy products is annoying and a big turn-off!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Everyone was very friendly and went out of their way to make things pleasant.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Layout was fine. The common areas were always clean...bathrooms were spotless and continually cleaned!

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Cruise rooms are always small but there were 2 of us and it was plenty of space. The bathroom was even a little bigger than I expected. There was a continual overflow of water on the floor though, every time someone showered.

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

We left with the early crew. Carried our own luggage off the boat. It’s the first time I’ve done this and will only donit from now on. It was so fast and easy! We were called to leave the boat at 7:15 and we’re at our car by 7:35.

I can understand how odd that must have felt. But if they weren't bothering you .....each to their own. We did a Halloween cruise one year. Had NO IDEA that a large LGBT group had booked most of the ship. Now I enjoyed the shows and costumes they did. But my husband and son didn't care for it. The whole point of the cruise was for my son to meet people his age (22) and maybe meet a nice girl. But unfortunately no luck. Like literally not any straight women his age. We still had fun and met some amazing and fun people.
