This was the least favorite cruise on this ship. I've been on this ship 3 other times with better experiences.
Embarkation
2 out of 5
Very slow, only half the windows open sooo process was ridiculous and was hot.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
main dining room was average
Food was warm but for someone who doesn't enjoy trying new things was limited. Same dinner all week .
Windjammer was too crowded most times... omelettes took waaayyy too long
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
Your line dance teacher needs to not make a mockery of the activity. Check out some REAL line dancing. I took one dance in class until the movements were like the chicken dance then i walked off. As a professional dancer, teacher and choreographer it's quite annoying to see this stupidity perpetuated.
But for those that didn't know any better. They had fun.
The pools were nice. The hot tubs overcrowded.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
the small band on the pool deck were fabulous! Her voice is just awesome!
The stage shows some of the best I've seen.
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
guest services really did great keeping up with the craziness of my group.
Three group coordinator Darjan was priceless.
Ship Quality
3 out of 5
design is fine
Common areas were good
The entire ship was chartered the week before by heavy metal bands. Not enough time to really clean the way it needed before wer got on. It could've been better. I've seen it better.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Cabin was good. Always tidied up, but I'm an organized traveler so not much needed in my cabin. The beds need to be replaced along with the carpets. They are supposed to be during dry dock this year.
Ship tip
venues and theaters in the front
Food in the rear
Avoid deck 4 if you don't smoke and hold your breath walking past the mid ship stairs leading to the casino from deck 5 to deck 4. The smell of smoke is disgusting.
there could have been soda machines in the pavilions. Bottled soda is gross and warm even with ice. The food was ok. Didn't have money to do much else.
The water was beautiful.
Well, within the port area was commercialized. Outside the port areas is very run down. It is a poor island. Bring your self confidence and walk around like you own the place. Marijuana is shoved at you multiple times as you're walking. Venture in groups, do not go alone.
I did get a beautiful wood carving from a small market outside the immediate port area different from anything seen anywhere else.
