Review summary

Overall, the cruise was good, but the Staff lacks personality, language skills, and customer service. Restaurant hostess were generally unpleasant, wait staff takes your order and runs, our housekeeper was terrible and didn't understand our requests. Would take our towels and not replace with the correct quantity. He never took away or changed our dirty glasses, didn't vacuum or change the sheets - even after we requested since we were staying with a baby.

I felt like I was treated like a number, no personal service at all. The staff appeared jaded and bored or completely overwhelmed and are quick to rush you along...on to the next.

Food is good, staff was terrible.

Onboard Activities

Only family friendly place is the kids pool. Nothing for adults to do with their children other than that.

Service and Staff

Keilana was our housekeeper and he was terrible. He didn't clean, vacuum, dust, replace towels or change the sheets. Just emptied the trash once a day.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Seating needs a serious cleaning and refurbishment. O'Sheehan's is filthy! The banquets were sunken, covered in food, missing buttons, etc. Staff definitely needs to wipe down booths after every seating, and they clearly aren't.

Cabin / Stateroom

Carpet needs to be extensively shampooed and vacuumed.

@tatt2ed She's entitled to leave a review without personal attacks by you. I'm pretty sure people who would like English spoken on their vacation pick cruise ships that dock and visit the United States, but nice try.

My experience was a total 180 degree opposite. Friendly, helpful staff. Prompt service. No language problems that weren't overcome with patience and a smile...
