Review summary

We would sail Mardi Gras again. It was a great experience.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Very quick and efficient.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Lots of free options. Panini's were very good. Street Eats, Guys Burger and Pig and Anchor, Shaqs Chicken tenders were good. Shaqs sandwiches were not so good. Sit down dinners were very slow. Buffet was just ok.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Bolt was high priced. All other activities were great. Slides, ropes course, and pools were good. We were excited to see they had table tennis, we had heard there was not.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Shows were ok. A bit corny to be honest. Lots of singing and magic. The comedians were pretty good.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The hardest working staff. They all are amazing.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
We were worried it would be too crowded after seeing reviews. The elevators are very small and the shows get filled quickly but otherwise, we did not feel it was crowded. Loved deck 8 outside area.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Balcony room was nice. Bathroom a tad smaller than what we are used to.

Ship tip

Pig and Anchor breakfast was fresher and less crowded than the buffet. Pack comfortable shoes, there is a lot of walking.
