This cruise was amazing but the debarkation process was unnecessarily long and difficult

In the production “Flick” not a single one of the cast could sing and it was difficult to sit through

Children's Programs

2 out of 5

The staff at club o2 specifically Brad were extremely rude to me and my friends at the teens club. He would skip our music and give us dirty look whenever we asked for something.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Service from all ship staff except Brad from club o2 was phenomenal

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

The ships design was nice except for the extremely slippery floors in the market place buffet and the fact that the floor of the ship was always wet

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Cabin was clean most of the time it fit all of us into the room comfortably

We stayed in port but there wasn’t much to do and the shops are very expensive so we only stayed about 45 minutes

Debarkation is controlled by Customs Border Patrol, it's not fun and it's out of the cruise lines control. A lot of it depends on the ports that were visited. Don't let it ruin all the fun you had.
