Review summary

Overall, I went on this cruise to relax and I did as much as I could.

Embarkation

2 out of 5
Extremely crowded and long lines compared to my other cruise experiences. Also, after waiting in long lines and receiving my sail and sign card, I attempted to board the ship only to be told the registration process was incomplete. So, I had to walk all the way back to registration for help and then back past all of these people to board the ship. This was a first!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
This ship needs to invest in better warming equipment. Every morning in the buffet breakfast food was not warm, but cold. In the Black Crab dining room, I ordered French onion soup and it was not even warm enough to melt the cheese on top. Overall, the food tasted okay, if you ignored the fact it was barely warm.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
I enjoyed all of the shows in the theater. Very lively and entertaining. Not much going on on the Lido deck. I didn't see any dancing. I'm a 62 year old lively lady. But, not a club person. So , I don't know what went on there.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Sorry, mentioned before how much I enjoyed the production shows.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All of the staff were very gracious and accommodating. My room steward was great.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship was beautiful. I especially liked the diamond staircases. The ship was clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The cabin was spacious and clean. I was a little disappointed to see my balcony view was partially obstructed. I had to stand to see. But, they picked my room. Also, my neighbor smoked Marijuana "Everyday". Therefore, I had to schedule my balcony time around his weed.

Ship tip

Not the ship for a lively Lido deck, variety of places to eat or just hot food.

Ports of call

Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Beautiful beach and not crowded.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
I had an early flight and decided to do the express deparkation and to my surprise it seemed like so did everyone else. Which caused long lines. This was not the fault of the staff. Once we were cleared, things went smoothly.
