Review summary

The ship is in desperate need of a thorough painting.  There were a LOT of areas where rust was showing and it detracted from the overall look of the ship.  The wait staff was not as good as in past cruises.  I was told on the second night that the ship was out of sparkling water and was given club soda instead, but to my surprise on the second night, after being in CocoCay all day, I again asked for sparking water with dinner and it magically arrived.  The bathrooms had a strange odor in them most of the time and the toilet in our stateroom had to be flushed numerous times.  

 

I was also not sure why we remained in Nassau until 11 pm when most of the shops closed at 6.  I believe it was because we were sailing to CocoCay the next day.  I am a Platinum member, now Emerald after this sailing, so I have sailed on many ships and was disappointed with the condition of the ship and the wait staff on this particular cruise.

I'm not sure which sailing you were on but I just came off of the June 27th sailing. My wife and I enjoyed the cruise thoroughly. It was my 10th and her first. It's hard to compare a 20yr ship to a ship recently built. That's like comparing a 1994 car to a car built in 2016. You have to expect to see some wear and tear especially with salt water it causes some rusting.
