Review summary

Overall, we had a good time, this trip wasn’t like our other cruises, very laid back with not too many things for us to do. It seemed like They wanted EVERYONE off the ship while in both ports.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Quick and painless! We were on the ship by 11:15

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The service in the MDR was fantastic our waiter and assistant waiter were wonderful! The food was not the best that I’ve had on cruises. Our biggest complaint is that they only had 3 bars open while in ports and they were the pool bars. We had to wait until 4/5 to enjoy a drink in the schooner bar, but there was a trivia game set to start at 3. That was disappointing.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

The activities were lacking. I love playing trivia and games and this ship didn’t have too much to do.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

The only musician we saw was Nate in the Barnacle and Barrel and he was fantastic! We went to see him all 3 nights.

Children's Programs

No kids

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

We never met our room steward, we found so jewelry in our room after it was cleaned on day 2 that didn’t belong to us, which was a little unsettling. The other personnel we interacted with were very nice

Mold in the shower, hair clip under the vanity on day 1 and the water started out brown/yellow o the sink and shower; luckily after a few runs of the water it went back to clear.
