Review summary

Great time. Even though it was for just one port, Labedee was the best port for all 3 to 5 days Caribbean/Nassa cruises.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Food all great, buffers desert good but not great. Lemonade too deluted.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Great variety of activities. No enough life music.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

0 for 1st night - comedian David, 5 for 2nd, 4th night, 5 for 3rd night. Averaged to 3 star. Understandable for comedian to be controversial. But telling jokes that alienate 50% of population? Not wise. Get rid of him.

Ship tip

Wall climbing and wave surfing were amazing, even though I didn't do either. Did not give enough room for running track -- crowded by pool lounge chairs on both sides, with passenger walking leisurely on track on both direction. Should do a better job announcing/ giving instruction for proper usage/behavior of tracks.

the staff was not really catered to the elderly. Not everyone on the ship was kind to us,
