Review summary

Other cruises I have been on had comedy shows or something almost all day long. This boat had very few shows and the shows they had was always Latin dancing which I like but I wanted a variety of music. The pool party only lasted 2 hours and only included a DJ that played music and a belly flop competition. Fun but only 2 hours long. Other cruises I was on had fun pool parties all day long. I also want an adult section. It’s not fun watching infants run around while I’m trying to drink and have adult fun. Overall the boat was great but it was boring. Also Coco Cay used to be a place to relax in a hammock and drink. Listen to music and eat. Now it’s just like going to a resort beach. It’s not the same as years ago. Lost the “private” island feeling.

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food was average at best. Like eating at a Golden Corral or something. If you want good food you needed to book reservations and pay extra for the meal. Not included. I would rather them charge me extra for the cruise even if it’s $300 more but don’t make me pay on the ship. It’s should all be included. There was not a mandatory formal night on the boat. That’s part of the fun for women. They love getting dressed up sexy. Here everyone had T-shirt’s on to dinner

Who wants to do anything mandatory on a cruise. A formal night on short cruises are a thing of the past.

Maybe cruising is not your thing.

Disappointing. I’m sailing in two weeks with my grown kids. Two have never sailed and I want them to enjoy cruising.
