Review summary

The drink package is worth it, as it covers water, coffee, drinks etc. I will not go out of Galveston, TX again as you can’t use your drink package on day one. Looking forward to our next cruise.

Embarkation

Long, lines, you wait to get off and it takes forever to get through customs.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Loved the pizza, Guy’s burgers, the Blue Iguana was ok. The buffet had a nice variety, would like to see the pasta are open for dinner. The specialty steakhouse was amazing.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Comedians were funny, did the adult version. Love the DJ’s great variety of music. The violins were nice just to long, and to often. Our cruise director was amazing. And loved the adult scavenger hunt.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
The bar staff at the Blue Iguana were stuffy and didn’t seem to like there jobs. Made the drinks and that is about it. Also the Plaza bar. Our room steward was great, as were the wait staff etc. They all work hard to make sure your cruse was awesome and it was .

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
I missed as in other ships a dance area. Disliked the limelight having to tear down to make a dance area. I sure got my steps and flights in, as things are all over. I didn’t mind the walking. Disliked the Smokey Casino. I love to play but to Smokey and the smell they try to do to cover up the smoke is almost worse then the cigarette smell. Needs a better filtration system or the casino s/b else where

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The size was great, as we were not in the cabin a lot. To sleep, shower. Loved the balcony. I know the stewards are rushed. I did wiped down and dust/clean areas that get missed. But overall were ok

A lot of wait only to get off and wait in line even longer. That is the worst part, getting on and getting off

Did you guys have the faster to the fun or stay in a suite? Just wondering if the wait was that long with that package.
