Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The Deli was my favorite. Breakfast Buffet was good, lots of variety. This was our first cruise so didnt really know what to expect but we went with experienced cruisers and they were a little disappointed about the dining room show. They felt we didnt get the total experience. we were on the 2nd level of the Dining room so you could see down but its like our waitstaff were forbidden to dance. But please dont get me wrong they were taking care of business trying to deliver all the food to their tables.

Only went to one Main show and the couple we went with said its absolutely nothing like previous ships shows are. Again we were 1st time cruisers. Nothing to compare it to. They also said other ships had a better variety of things to do. But all in all we had a blast. The scavenger hunt was the absolute best. Sarah and Abbie had our ribs hurting from laughing so much. The comedy shows were hilarious. Deck party and trivia parties were fun.

Service and Staff

Kevin the director was very fun! He made us laugh the entire time. The funsquad also. I didnt meet a mean one but the ones who stood out the most to us were Claire, Sarah, Abbie, Trey, and Carlos. Our waiters were very friendly. They knew our names personally. One was uptight so when I said, "hey dude you can relax" I guess he didnt realize he was being that way because he changed. Our room steward was Bagus. He was fantastic.

We went to Corona Beach. Our tour guide Michelle was great. Very friendly. We also had a guy with us that made sure the people who tried to sell you stuff wasnt to aggravating. Yeah it gets aggravating after a while but they are just trying to make a living also. Food at the restaurant was good. we got to see some of the town bc all the road construction going on.

Cozumel, Mexico

We did the Surf and Turf excursion. The tour Guides were awesome. You got to see alot of The town. Then you ride some little jet boats. Omg it was so fun. They fly. Had bruises for weeks after lol. But so worth it. you supposed to snorkel as well but the water was very ruff. Then you ride on razors and although you dont see anything it was still a blast.

New Orleans, Louisiana
