I love cruises. This was my 10th. Will continue to enjoy and see more. Shop your available onboard packages and pre-buy. Again the babysitting assistance was valuable for all.
Embarkation
4 out of 5
Becoming a Crown and Anchor member allowed for a faster onboarding process. Process took 20mins including security checkpoint
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Food was decent. I have had better. Some meals better than others. In general, it was decent. Highlight is having a Johnny Rockets on ship(opened later night). Never did the formal dining. Did the buffets.
Drink package with Internet was the best deal. Unlimited drinks and great wifi around ship(in and outside)
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
Pool was nice..but small. Enjoyed just relaxing. Did not do a lot of the physical activities available.
Entertainment
Did not indulge
Children's Programs
5 out of 5
My 10yr old daughter loved the onboard kid center where games and activities and babysitting are provided at no charge. from 10p-2a, they charge $7 per hr. Great deal. Allowed for some adult time with no worries of where my child was.
Service and Staff
2 out of 5
I had to have my room key replaced 5 different times over 3 days. Usage for shopping and other needs was no problem, but randomly it would stop giving me access to my room. Frustrating, embarrassing. Their response is its a larger issue with the cards used and they are reviewing how to resolve. Its clear they were aware of the problem but didn't share with us the problem in advance nor make it easy to resolve.
During some peak times, not enough bar staff to handle the demand in some locations throughout cruise.
Ship Quality
3 out of 5
decent layout. Areas were being maintained.
Cabin / Stateroom
3 out of 5
Small.
Bed not comfy(small twins)
Shower tight space.
I get it that is a economy room and your on a ship, but I been in slightly larger cabins. Makes a difference
Ship tip
Buy the beverage package and if your want internet, but the combo. Worth the money and hassle free. Less charges to settle at the end.
Rained during visit. Lasted several hrs. Impacted our ability to walk the downtown area and see a lot. Enjoyed a few shops near the boat. Boat was docked for 10hrs. The excursion packages are way expensive.
Loved the private island concept. Great buffet style food. Games and things to do. Best part of trip. Also the shortest stay(6hrs). Would love to enjoy a full day there.
If you hold your luggage and leave during the "self assisted" time interval, it took about 30mins in line and 5mins thru security. Was not bad considering a full boat trying to leave.
Really like the babysitting assistance concept. Now if there was no age limit, I could drop someone off, come back in three hours totally happy. Hummm!
