Review summary

This was my second cruise and probably will be my last one for  quite a while.  I traveled with a group from ages 20-68, I'm 53.  The ship was clean and inviting and our stateroom met our needs as a couple. The food was as expected, and in mind opinion, it is like the Superbowl commercials, - over rated.  

 

The Flow rider was fun and also provided some daytime entertainment watching people, like my husband (59) try it for the first time. We played miniature golf and also attempted he climbing wall and enjoyed suntanning and having fun. 

 

My biggest let down was the evening entertainment.  Fifty-percent of the shows were good (comedians- early show)  fifty percent were so incredibly cheesy and hard to tolerate (dancing and singing) , in fact some we just walked out of. After "the shows" it was hard to find anything worth listening to. A good piano player who would try to add humor, but shouldn't of.  Drunken adults singing at the karaoke bar, um, I don't think so.   We either went to watch the stars at the heli-pad, played cribbage, or just went to bed.  I will give an Honorable Mention to David Rodriguez(?) who was very talented and played guitar and took request from the audience and did a fantastic job. He played at the Two Poets Pub.  He was entertaining and not corny or juvenile. 

 

I talked my husband into paying $10 ea. for a wine tasting and cheese paring.  Bad, Bad, Bad. So bad, that Dev, who oversee's the dining room and was in charge of the Wine tasting "thing", gave our our table a bottle of champagne because it was so bad.  Although Dev tried to make up for it, he was arrogant and condescending to dinner guest, walked around like a cocky peacock, and would slyly insult you,  although he would kindly smile at you.  On the other hand, we attended a Johnnie Walker Whisky tasting that was FREE and it was very educational and the two gentlemen who did the demonstration where exceptional. 

 

The ports of call were wonderful, we had an enjoyable time with friends, but had our group been smaller, the entertainment factor would of been, well, you get the picture.
