Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
All the food we ate was exceptional except for Bonsai Teppanyaki. Had no flavor or seasoning.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We enjoyed the pools, Bolt the roller coaster, hit tubs and more.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Just ok. Seems like they were down some musicians and entertainers. Only two playlist production shows. And one of those only had one showing. Very odd. Patrick Duffy from the piano bar had to leave the ship due to an emergency. There were no horns in the bands that we’ve seen on earlier cruises. Entertainment seemed lacking.

Children's Programs

Are you kidding?

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All the service was impeccable. Best we’ve had on a ship.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Mardi Gras is amazing. Crew were constantly cleaning. We were very happy with the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
This was the perfect cabin. The balcony is a semi circle. You can see forward and to the side. The beds are firm, but I like them that way. We slept great! The shower will fit two easily. Plenty of storage in this cabin.

Ship tip

Eat at Emerils! The shrimp and grits and the sweet potato waffle were our favorites at breakfast. The shrimp scampi, BBQ shrimp and the jambalaya were our lunch/dinner favorites.

Ports of call

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
We did a self guided walking tour. We loved Old San Juan. So beautiful. We had great food at Barrachina and Pirilo’s.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easy peasy. I was in a taxi headed to get my car at 7:32 in the am. Earliest I’ve ever been off a cruise ship.

I agree with your review. We had a great time too. There were horns with the Center Stage band every night.
