Review summary

Clean ship, lots to do, good staff, nice food selection. This is a good value cruise. It is not high end or glam. Alcoholic and internet costs were the only disappointment to me. The packages are overpriced, and they get you for each person in the cabin and for every day of the cruise. You can carry a bottle of wine on board. I ordered the bottled water and was glad for that. Overall a fun and worthwhile experience!

Food and Dining

Decent variety. Good value for the money. Loved the Mexican place. Thanks for accommodating gluten free. Wait staff was very attentive! Would have liked to have a beer or wine at a more reasonable price.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Plentiful and well maintained. Contests were funny and entertaining. Music was good but volume could be a bit lower. Ideally the adult area would be 21+ to reduce some of the immaturity.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Good variety and short enough shows that one could not have to commit an entire evening to a single venue.

Service and Staff

Rudy was the best! Clean and comfortable. Internet and drink packages are all or nothing for each member of the cabin for each day. Had there been an opportunity to purchase one or both for select days, I would have done so.
