Review summary
Comparing to other cruises we have taken this was just ok for the following reasons but also had some nice experiences. * Price was good for a holiday week I thought * If going to Labadee, Haiti just know that if you want to shop you will be bombarded by vendors that actually started to scare my kids. If you stay at the beach you will be fine and our kids loved it. * Ship had very limited free food options outside of the main dining areas. Previous cruises we enjoyed multiple dining venues dedicated to specific tastes like one place would have pizza and another might have Gyros and another sandwiches. This boat "Navigator of the seas had one only so the line was long most of the cruise. Also they had an ice cream station our kids enjoyed once because I never saw it open after day 1. After that we had to pay for Ben and Jerry's ice cream at the one dining area I mentioned previously. * Main dining area 2nd night I had I ordered Chicken Parmesan and should have read the details because it was not served with pasta rather Mashed potatoes and the chicken was over cooked and dry but I could not send it back because we did not see anyone until they brought out desert. * Lastly and probably because of the deal we got we felt some rude dealings with other passengers especially at the end when many people ran in front of us to disembark when we were in line. * If you have kids the play area was not as good as our last cruise and if that is important to you Disney was the best but you will definitely pay for it. The overall daily activity lineup was not great but we did have fun and took in the ice show and a Musician who had a funny take on music icons. Bingo was also fun especially when you win. Our cabin steward was great and we tipped him extra just because of his wonderful personality.Embarkation
