Review summary

We would not sail the Mardi Gras again. Would really reconsider the drink package. Getting on and off was fast and easy. Have had much better experiences on other cruise lines.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Fast and uneventful

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Buffet/included food was okay but over crowded with long lines. pay to eat dinning was great food everywhere we went, less crowded but still a long wait for everything

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Shows, bingo, bars all good fun but over crowded. Not abnormal to wait 15-20 minutes to get a drink. Drink package was very inconvenient, 15 drink limit, only one drink at a time, no doubles, no buckets of beer.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Over crowded hard to find a seat even showing up early

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Seemed like they were over worked and stretched to thin

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Very clean and nicely laid out

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Size and comfort were as we expected

Ship tip

Be prepared to wait

LoL, you went on a cruise during one of the most busy times of cruising. Lots of people are on spring break, so yes, there are going to be TONS OF LINES, and ships are going to be packed. I've learned my lesson about spring break. Overall, sorry about your experience
