Review summary
This is not my first cruise so I had high expectations from this cruise line. I took a 7-day cruise from Miami to the Caribbean and it was just one thing after another.
First, when I got to my room there was a horrible odor, but I dropped my things and went out. When I returned the whole carpet was wet and I could assume they knew the problem and just shampooed it, but no one said anything. It stayed wet for another day and the smell was still there. I complained about the smell and all they did was ask me to leave the room to shampoo the carpet again and this time would use a fan for a quicker dry. Again the smell is still there. Next, I was assigned a cabin before the cruise but that changed when I arrived. I was put on the floor below the pool, entertainment and buffet. All I heard in my room all day and night is furniture moving, doors slamming, running and loud banging. After everything, I spent the whole cruise smelling something like old wet laundry or mildew and did not rest because of the noise. No one offed a room change, upgrade, refund or perk.
I brought my son on this ship because I knew of all the entertainment for him onboard. I was wrong! The ship has a basketball court with no basket balls. A game room, but each game was $1.50 for each play. A water slide, but the kids didn’t have a chance because all the adults were on it. My son is 12, so the majority of the activities planned were for kids under 11. I had to pay for excursions or figure out the things on the boat he might like just so he would not be bored. There were a few teenager things, but none of the kids seemed to enjoy it. I just made the best of it and did my best to entertain him.
The food in the restaurants was good, but the buffet was hit or miss. Some meals I barely ate anything, but the fruit (I would have expected to be really good and sweet, NOT!)
I would not recommend this cruise line. No matter what happened they just acted as if I should tolerate everything. I will never go on this cruise line again.
