Review summary

I’ll never do another charter cruise. Never Miami

Embarkation

5 out of 5
It was easy, walk on. Didn’t like we had to wait for 2 hrs before we could get to our room to put our carry on bag away.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Not a lot to do on this ship. Guess I got spoiled on the Oasis last year. Did like the rock climbing wall.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Had a blast watching “ love and marriage “ , tried bingo, loved Zoe British accent. Casino is always fun.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Staff seemed a little off their game, I think the open seating through them off. They were a little slow with taking drink orders. It just felt like sometimes they were lost. They were very friendly.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Everything seemed clean except the wooden hand rails, always felt sticky

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Room was nice, bathroom was a little small. I’m 6’2 225lbs and almost had to step out just to change my mind, lol, but it served its purpose.

Ship tip

Don’t go if it’s a Charter Cruise. We had people who normally cruise on carnival and all they did was Complain. “On Carnival we could do this, on carnival we could do that” other than that it was a nice relaxing cruise.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

1 out of 5
I’d give Miami a negative 5 if I could. They don’t know how to drive. I felt saver driving in the Middle East during the war. Fly in and take the bus to the terminal.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easy, walk off

There are so many warnings about those 'charter cruises' the 3-4 day party hard and drink til you drop kind. It's best to go for at least 8 days, that way you go with bona fide cruisers who know how to behave & relax. Better luck next time.
