Review summary

Disappointing. Family vacation, for some family members it was their first time on a cruise. Long lines for everything. Very hot and slippery deck. Saw several people fall. Tables not cleaned of glasses, plates and other trash on tables. Trash can not emptied. Snorkeling was the best part of the cruise. (not in the lagoon) Silent disco was also one of the best parts. Good family fun, except for the practically naked women on the dance floor. Dress code for family event would have been appropriate. A young women twerking in a g-string bikini was not appropriate for a family function with children. Food was fair.

Mediocre amateur. Entertainment in lounges was pretty much non-existent. Very limited.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5

Fair, the ship is understaffed, unenthused. Long waits for drink service, unhappy servers, often felt like we were ignored.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5

Tables not cleaned from drink glasses, food plates, waste cans not emptied. Not enough pools to for the amount of people on the cruise. Long lines for drinks, not enough staff to support the passengers.

Cabin / Stateroom

Room stewart did a great job!
