Review summary

Overall the cruise was relaxing for me. I didn’t do a lot only because there was not a lot of entertainment activities that captured my attention. The interactive events were fun but the stage performances seemed to only cater to a certain demographic of people, that didn’t include me.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Embarkment went smoothly.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The buffet food was not the best. Some food items did not appear to be fresh. It looked like leftovers from the previous day.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Entertainment

3 out of 5

The stage shows appeared to cater to one culture of people as well as the music that was played at the parties. On other ships I have been on, the music was always diverse.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5

Most of the staff seemed like they really didn’t want to be there, so they moved around like turtles. A one hour dinner in the Palms took us about 3hrs because the service was extremely slow with bringing us our food and drinks. We had to ask a few nights if they had forgot about us.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

The design was fine, but I give it a 4 because some of my family members caught Covid on the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

My room was comfortable and the size was fine. I think it would have been better if the bathroom was cleaned at least once while we were cruising. We kept our own room clean for the most part.
