My husband and I were on the same cruise, we had a great time...the only thing is the black ash once in awhile...otherwise, no complaints

Was on this same cruise. Never had more than a 20 minute wait for any meal seating in the MDR and we attend all meals there, except when we did specialty restaurants. Can not confirm soot closing the aft pool, we only sat around the mid ship one, but never heard others complain that a pool was out of commission. Obviously you did not tip your porter well or (s)he would of set you up on the second level for a pick-up (personal, private, and tlc vehicles only) or you were using any rideshare app, whom all refuse to do pick-ups on port property. Lower level is only for shuttle services.

I'm booked next year. I can hardly wait, surely they didn't expect a resort for a port from NYC 😅

"Worst cruise ever taken" but no other cruises listed? They "dump you off" at the same place you got on. I don't believe this review at all.

Our Favorite Ship

Terrible never again. Soot was all over the ship from the engine stack. People complaining they couldn’t sit on their balcony. People who are. Not wearing shoes their feet became black . The lounge chairs were dirty

Great Journeys Cruise!
