Review summary

Not my fave the ship was very nice . The did not do well with the entertainment. The crew was kind of rude I’m which I’ve never experienced on any other cruise . The boat swayed back and forth until we made it to grand cayman and I don't know if someone else took the wheel but it was smooth sailing after that however I am still swaying back and forth at home since and I hope this dissipates .

Cabin / Stateroom

The bed was comfortable. The size of the room was as expected. The balcony was filthy . The beds were thrown together in a hurry . This is my 5th cruise I’ve never had a filthy balcony like this one and the balcony door clicked and clacked all night while in motion not a good nights rest

I’m sorry you didn’t have a good time. What wasn’t clean on your balcony? The ship swaying has to do with the weather conditions, not who is steering the ship, so when the swaying stopped it was more likely that you sailed into calmer waters, not that someone else took over. Something totally out of their control.
