Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Food was good. Nothing to brag about.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Very long lines for all slides. Pools were nice. Pretty standard.

Entertainment

2 out of 5

Not much variety. DJs were horrible. Outdated entertainment. Comedians were good.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5

Staff were friendly unless. You needed a few tums. Went to medical and was told I needed to sign in and wait to be seen to get two tums.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5

Design was nice and roomy but if you are a non smoker do not go to the casino. They allow smokers at the slots but the smell is throughout the area.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5

Rooms were very outdated. Colors were faded. 10 hour delay leaving home port due to maintenance issue.

Ship tip

Book your own excursions. Carry your own bags off when leaving to beat the crowd.

I heard the delay was 13 hrs. You should take typical over the counter meds with you.

I was on the ship 2 years ago and found it just fine. Staff were fantastic, food incredible, and very entertaining. If you are looking to pick something apart you will always find it. Try enjoying your time away from home, not critiquing everything. As a smoker I always find it tough to find a spot where I can smoke without bothering people, but people always seem to find the smokiest areas to bitch about us smoking. These areas are clearly marked so if it bothers you you may want to avoid the smoking areas, we feel bad enough have the disgusting habit we don't need to hear you bitch as you walk by holding your shirt over your mouth.

After reading your complaints, I'm not sure you would be happy on any vacation. Maintenance has to be done, I've sat at many airports waiting for planes to be fixed. Always bring your own tums and other medications.

You went to Medical just to get two Tums?? Seems like it would have been easier to buy some in the General Store.
