Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food was ok nothing to write home about. Coffee was never offered in the main dining room after dinner, you had to ask for it.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We enjoyed the hot tubs however there were kids that were in there. Several adults tried to tell them this was adults only and they didn't listen. Not sure where their parents were. The roller coaster never worked while we cruised. Mini golf was fun.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The comedians were great however, the shows were ok. There are no Broadway plays, the entertainment was put on by the crew. They were enjoyable but not professional. No dancing in any of the bars either that we found, we danced in the hallway at the Fortune Teller bar.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Excellent service by all, did not get anyone's name.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Found elevators floors not to be cleaned, never saw cleaning crew around during the day except the last couple of days on board. Layout of ship was great.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was great could have used soap holders in the showers because we bring our own shampoo and body wash. Electrical outlets are always an issue because both my husband and I use CPAP machines.

Do you know if they always do a Mardi Gras parade or is it only this time of year?
