Shows were amazing, but the activities could have been planned better. Bar service was awful - maybe because we had an all-inclusive package and they weren't getting their 'tips' ? Would not book on the Seaside again. Comparing this to other ships, it was disappointing. For the seasoned cruiser, we have high expectations, and this one just fell short.
Embarkation
4 out of 5
Good, we had express embarkation, so everything went smoothly.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
The main dining was okay. Service was excellent, but the food was mediocre. Same in the buffet. Got charged for my 'complimentary' meal in the specialty seafood restaurant - VERY disappointed in the way that was handled.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
Sad there was a charge for the zipline, as is free on other ships. Dance instruction and trivia daily was a lot of fun. Otherwise, it was difficult to find interesting things to do that interested us.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
Excellent. Very talented performers all around.
Children's Programs
Was not travelling with children.
Service and Staff
3 out of 5
Wait staff in dining room and cabin steward were all amazing. They went out of their way to make sure we got everything we asked for.
Ship Quality
3 out of 5
A lot of wasted space in the design of the ship. The dancing areas could have been utilized better had there been more space. Common areas were well-maintained.
Cabin / Stateroom
3 out of 5
Size of the cabin was fine, but there was so little space for storage. We were only a party of two and had a hard time finding spots for our clothing. Again, a lot of wasted space when a dresser or a bigger closet could have been placed in the cabin.
Ship tip
Look carefully at the itinerary before you book - we spent three out of our four ports with minimal time to spend ashore. Fortunately, we had been to these islands in the past, but if I was a first-timer, I wouldn't have been able to do most of the excursions.
