Review summary

Guest services immediately took off my gratuities. Man gave me 30% discount for specialty restaurants. Had suite facing back of ship. Room fantastic. They should throw in a couple of movies on their television instead of irrelevant things. Steward was excellent. Room service doesn't understand word well done. Had to send back 3 times and then each morning was fine. Ate breakfast buffet once. Chaotic with kids and people talking very loud and hard to find a table. Parents think it's their living room. Also, kids running around on the stairs. Specialty restaurants butcher's block and sushi conveyor belt I ate every night between the 2. Steak to perfection with five dipping sauces and sides. Sushi was all you can eat for 45 minutes with great fried rice and ice cream included. What an incredible value. Besides this I spend my money on casino. Was told before cruise no crap table but they did have one. My game. Only other thing was Karaoke which was almost every night. Some excellent singers. Only negative was limited songs, and not long enough one hour and 15 minutes, and for this reason people running it should talk less and not sing as it's for the guests. It was in a beautiful lounge with a stage. Some of the people running crap table were nice and a couple not so friendly. Also drove the formula 1 car, of which now I have the upmost respect for the drivers after setting a record for crashes that will never be broken! Basically, never got off the ship rainy or cold. Rained in Jamaica. No cayman Island which was disappointment because of wind. Wanted to play golf in Cozumel, but found out golf course was too far, and private island was too cold for beach. I love a nice balcony, but because of wind couldn't spend a lot of time out there. Not the ship's fault weather wise but wouldn't go again in December. When we left it the day and night it was constant downpours in Miami. If only I had known, I wouldn't have spent the extra money for the room and balcony. You live and learn. Went to the place for ice cream which was closing and they gave it to me for free. They know how to score points. I'm not an early riser, but on ships you have to be out of your room very early. I know how it can be if you get off with everyone, so instead of standing I sat for 30 minutes and then got off with very little problem. They need security to be a little tougher at the adult pool in the back. People don't read the daily that states after one hour your lounge can be taken if you're not back. They have beds also which are nice. Came very close to having physical confrontation who demanded I get up after 1hour and a half. Security guy was called over by me who explained to them the deal and they still came at me. It was a newer ship so to me it was beautiful. When I book a cruise If I leave a message to call me back, don't tell me you will and then don't follow thru. Had to change agents 3 times. All in all, I give the Seascape 5 stars because you can't do anything about the weather and the people. To end I will share an embarrassing situation for me. The cabin doors close quickly, so when I opened it to retrieve my luggage, I didn't think I needed my key, so all of a sudden, I'm in my underwear calling for help for 10 minutes. Thanks to a man who came out and got someone to open the door I survived, but wouldn't you know they sent a woman!!!

Ship tip

Pay extra for butcher's block and sushi with conveyor belt. Absolutely worth it. Once on ship find man who will give you 30% off. Any complaints are always from free dining rooms.
