Review summary

Great Cruise because we took our Mother's on their 1st Cruise. Entertainment needs improvement. We're use to bands at different places on the ship playing all types of music. More music by Whitney Houston is needed in Karaoke. Smoking needs to be done only outside and not inside the ship anywhere. The second hand smoke is killing those of us who don't smoke and that's not fair!!! Wheelchair assisted individuals should get on and off the ship first, hands down!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Buffet was good. We ended up getting late dining and our mother's do not eat after 7 p.m. due to health issues, so they missed that experience. "Disappointing"

Onboard Activities

A variety

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Stage Shows were ok. DJ was good. Need new line dances like the "Get Up & Bama Shuffle" all that other stuff has gotten old. I love to dance and I was too excited about the same old line dances. This is our 7th Cruise, so I need a change.

Children's Programs

No children traveled with us, just our mother's.

Beautiful and great designs! The smoking in the Casino area is horrible. All smoking needs to be done outside period! Second hand smoke is the worse!!!
