Review summary

With all of the supply issues, I'd say overall, this was a good cruise.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

The gangway broke so the passengers on board couldn't exit. Threw everything 2-3 hours behind, it wasn't anyone's fault.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Some food was fabulous, some was mediocre and some was just inedible.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Skyride, ropes course, trivia, crafts, and towel folding.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Best comedian I've ever seen (Steven Quezada). Best stage shows I've ever seen, even better than Jean Ann Ryan!

Children's Programs

No children with us.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Very attentive.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Nice public areas as well as open air areas. Always clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

LOVED the second bath! Very roomy, nice window, awesome bed!

Ship tip

Do the Skyride at your first opportunity. Winds/weather can shut it down.

Disembarkation

1 out of 5

Cruise director, Savanna, called for everyone with all of their luggage to exit. EVERYONE stormed the elevators. It was a cluster! It would have been better if she would have called us by our muster stations like originally planned.

Also, I didn't know the gangway broke! At least that explains the delay in getting on the ship. Yikes!

Thanks for sharing your review. I was on the same sailing and had no issues with debarkation. Took us about 10 minutes. I don't remember them saying we'd disembark by muster station; it's always by the zone on your luggage tag. If they disembarked by muster, people would get the choice of early or late disembarkation. I sure hope you enjoyed the trip! We had a great time! 😁
