We had a great time on our trip. It was a budget cruise for us and we made the most of it. We would do it again.
Embarkation
3 out of 5
Embarkation was a bit disorganized. The staff at port were yelling at people to go around if someone wasn't ready to move forward. And it was very pushy. We were ready and people behind us were passing us.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Main dining room food was good as well as the sandwich and omelet station in the Lido Marketplace. The buffet food was just ok and caused my husband to swell and have issues with his joints. Once he stopped eating at the buffet, he was fine. Our wait staff in the main dining room was amazing!
Onboard Activities
2 out of 5
I was a bit disappointed in the pools. No one was monitoring the young children with swim diapers and pools had to be constantly emptied, cleaned and refilled because of feces in the pools. Parents were not following the potty training rules and there should be a fine if it happens multiple times to the guilty parties. My husband and daughter did the ropes course. Another issue we had is no one was monitoring that the kids followed the rules for this course. Kids were running up behind you instead of waiting on a platform until it was their turn to try the next section. My husband came off the course terrified and agitated and was snapped at by a staff member when he got off. He in turn snapped back, then felt badly about it.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
We went to two comedy shows and the comedians were funny. We also went to the Love and Marriage show and it was hysterical. Mar Q was a fantastic host.
Children's Programs
4 out of 5
Our daughter Sydney loved the kid's clubs and went daily.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Christopher and John made the trip to the Marco Polo dining room for us perfect at table 225. Malik our cabin steward was excellent.
Ship Quality
3 out of 5
I felt the ship was well maintained and everything was clean. My only complaint was when my daughter and I went to use the waterslides. We were barefoot and got 1st and 2nd degree burns on the bottoms of our feet because the deck was so hot! It was extremely dangerous and if someone had hosed it down periodically, this would not have happened and been such an unpleasant experience.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
The cabin was small and tight. But we expected this. I did not like that the overhead bunk was over my bed and worried I would bump my head when I woke each day. Cabin was kept clean daily by Malik and he supplied us with adorable towel animals throughout our trip.
We went to Ocean World at this port. We had a great time on our excursion. The directions for finding our meeting point once off the ship were very vague but we figured it out.
Most beautiful beach we've ever been on. Extremely hot when we were there. Definitely need more shady areas. The food was a bit chaotic and there should be more water filling stations.
