Review summary

We gathered on the Mardi Gras to celebrate a high school reunion. There was plenty of activities to keep anyone entertained staff was friendly. A few things that should be looked into: a few staff members in the ship stores had terrible body odor and while at breakfast staff should fill coffee cups without being asked.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Speedy embarkment process with friendly staff. My only concern was that my elderly 85 year old Aunt was told that she couldn’t use the escalator, and had to walk up 3 levels.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Food was tasty and abundant. All food was very salty. We went to the Italian restaurant and the parmigiana chicken was horrible, i was told it tasted better in the main dining . The staff including Fredie and Marlon in the Flamingo were wonderful. I’d suggest coming around to fill up water glasses more often. I’d also suggest coffee cups be filled regularly at breakfast without having to ask.
