Entertainment

I only went to the farewell show in the Palldium and it was short and pretty much boring. They had a magician perform 4 tricks and the ships band and dancer. Show was about 45 mins.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
We had a particulary unattentive server who after waiting for 30 minutes had to be reminded to bring our bottle of wine to the table and after 30 minutes or so her "boss" made her bring the bottle of wine as well as tend to our fellow passengers (4 altogether), I believe the food in the dining room was good. The Windjammer is another story. There was NOTHING I liked about the Windjammer. Long lines, cold food, horrible taste The only thing we ate was french fries and hot dogs. ugh. We;'e gone on several cruises and the buffet food was the worse.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
The common areas were clean. The seats on the fourth floor bar area were old, shredding and dirty.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The room was clean as well as the balcony. The bed was uncomfortable but I am kind of picky about the mattress I sleep on. The mattress was worn but with clean linens.

Ship tip

Please don't expect a lot of activities for young adult or teenagers. Don't judge other cruises based upon my critique. This is nothing like other cruise ships.

Ports of call

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
We went to some shops in Nassau but they basically sold the same things.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

1 out of 5
Not so perfect.

Charleston, South Carolina

3 out of 5
Shopping was pretty good.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We had the "key" so key members were able to disembark first.

Sorry you didn’t enjoy it. We’ve always had a great experience on Royal Caribbean and love the smaller ships.
