Review summary

The customer service received on this ships was horrible.  We left ort 3 hours late due to systems being down.  The captain had to speed to make up for lost tie which made everyone seasick.  Our bathroom stopped working the second night an again the forth night.  Room service was horrible.  We got food with no utensils and were asked if we could walk up top the dinning room to get some.  Thee was not enough crew so were asked to leave our seats and go get our own drinks because there was not enough staff to deliver them.  The main dinning room food was horrible and cold.  The 6pm dinning was so far behind that 3 of the nights we were rushed out and asked not to eat desert or to take it to go.  The specialty restaurants were impossible to get into since they were only opened for a few hours.  We never received our on board credits from travel agent and were told we could not get a courtesy call we had to call from our state rooms for $1.99 per minute.  We had to skip our first port Grand Turk which is the reason I booked the cruise due to weather being bad but it was fine.  This cruise was a joke.  A complete waste of my money.

Leonardo our room attendant was wonderful. The rest of the ship seemed rushed.. too busy to answer a simple question.

Ship Quality

How does a brand new ship not have working toilets.. Bathrooms/showers were entirely too small for that big of a ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

The showers were too small and the toilets did not flush properly. We had to call maintenance a few times.

Avoid Dexton Tours. We booked a private tour for 4 and they dropped us off and went to pick up another group of people claiming their bus broke down. We had to pretty missed all of our destinations so they could attend to the other group... We stopped and made the owner pick us u an ended our 4 hour tour after 1 hour.
