Review summary

The ship was overstocked with bad behaving and profanity speaking children that were out of control with very little parental intervention. The pools had standing room only and forget the hot tubs with little children in them most of the time. The food was marginal at best and got very boring towards the end if you only dined on the Lido deck. On the Serenity Deck you needed reservations because unless you arrived at the deck by 6:30 AM there was nothing available ALL DAY. This should tell you something!

Ship Quality

The people who had rooms aft on the ship had dinner seating in the forward dining room and the people who had rooms in the forward part of the ship dined in the aft dining room, so you had to walk a football field length to be able to dine. This is fine only for someone who doesn't have a disability.

Happy with everything except the mattress...uncomfortable! Gandhi would have loved this mattress.

After seeing this and the other 4 destinations, we've decided that the Western Caribbean is much inferior to the Eastern or Southern Caribbean. I do not recommend this cruise for seniors and wish I had had a better understanding of what this cruise was all about, which was mostly Spring Break.
