Review summary

Party boat. If you are going to drink and get drunk, this ship was just great. If you're going to relax, not going to happen here. Good cruise for under 30 years old.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Had FTTF. Nice

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Lido - Like slop the hogs Main Dining Room Food was great but a Wedding Party of 70 people (Yes 70) whistleing, screaming etc. made conversation impossible. Chef's table at $177 for two, nice presentation but food not so good and you'd think 7 courses you'd be full, not so true.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Couldn't get near the pools. Too many people, too many children.

Entertainment

Not interested in raunchy comedians, no shows, casino only crowded/smokey.

Children's Programs

Didn't have children with us

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
MDR servrtd Nyogen and Putra were fantastic. Room steward ok, didn't see him much.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
No problems with design but lots of cups/glasses sitting around. Casino was not maintained well. Ashtrays overflowing.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Interior good. Exterior filthy all the time. Could not sit on balcony, chairs discusting as was glass on balcony. Looked like brown goo all over.

Ship tip

If you are not going to party (i.e. drink, scream etc.) don't go. Our room neighbors came in at 230 am every night and partied with music blaring. Had to call security.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida Did not visit port

Just came and got on ship.

Key West, Florida

3 out of 5
Too little time to do anything. Rented a golf cart but no place to park.

Cozumel, Mexico

3 out of 5
Nice "built for cruisers" area right at pier. When 4 ships are in, a tad crowded.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Area for FTTF people should be designated not lumped in with everyone else. We paid extra for that perk.
