Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The food in the dining room was above average. The specialty restaurants were outstanding and the buffet lacked a bit of variety.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Entertainment

5 out of 5

The entertainment onboard was spectacular. DJ OJ was incredible. Thoroughly enjoyed his mix of music. The Fun Crew and other performers were enthusiastic and well versed in what they did. They, along with the most AMAZING CRUISE DIRECTOR IN THE WORLD... Jacky Tang, made our entire cruise the best we've ever been on.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

This rating is solely for our room steward. She was super sweet and very attentive. We were in cabin #10233.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

For the most part, the ship was immaculate. We only found bathroom near the main pool area that lacked attention. Not only was it dirty but female products were tossed around.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

We loved our cabin.

Ship tip

I'd suggest taking a mini tour on the first day to get familiar with all the ship has to offer. It's a spectacular vessel with so much to see and do. You want to make sure to take it all in.

Ports of call

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5

Nassau has always been one of my favorite ports, but so many shops were closed this time. I was also disappointed that we couldn't tour the hotel such as the lobby area with the aquarium.

Fun and frustrating

Memorable trip

I would not recommend this ship - "Mardi Gras" is just the name. There is no Mardi Gras vibe AT ALL
