Review summary

It was just OK; nothing special to write home about. The staff; particularly the Hotel and Restaurant Staff were excellent. The ports of call were somewhat boring and one was even questionable as to why they made the stop (Dominica).

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Food quality was OK and choices fairly good as well.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Activities were not really that great; nothing original; your typical pool stuff and bingo.

Children's Programs

1 out of 5

Don't even go there! I was not happy with the fact that my stateroom was right under Camp Carnival. Lots of thumping on the floor (which was my ceiling); they did make good for it though so I have to commend them on that. They credited me a portion of my cruise cost for the inconvenience.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The staff was great. They were very well versed in their areas and extremely helpful.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Not as clean as some other lines like Holland America or Royal Caribbean.

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5

Whatever you do, don't book a stateroom on the 10th deck (it's right under Camp Carnival and they let the kids run around there all hours of the night); very disruptive to someone who may want to get some sleep.
