Review summary

Liked the ship and port, would sail again. Only real complaint is how hot the ship was in most public areas. Luckily our cabin was cool.

Had FTTF so it was quick and easy.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Buffett was lacking and many stations were empty/closed. Guys wasn't as good as other ships. Sushi was great. MDR was slow and okay. Steakhouse was great.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Trivia was fun. Comedy shows were good and easy to get into. The quest was a hilarious.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Band in Red Frog was great. Patrick in the piano bar is the best I've seen in 10 cruises!

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Most staff were awesome. Room steward was okay, didn't show up at all one day.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I love this class of ship. Plenty of bars to host comedy, karaoke and stage shows all at the same time.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Standard interior cabin but super noisy. Beeping and sounds from below all night.

Great as usual. Tried Nachi Cocom and loved it. Very quiet and relaxing. Good food.

Only ventured into the shops right at the ship. Pushiest people ever.

New Orleans, Louisiana

Glad I saw New Orleans but it's so smelly. Huge cock roaches everywhere. Would definitely sail from there again but probably not venture out to Bourbon street again.
