Review summary

Staff were great and getting on and off the boat were a breeze. Food was nothing spectacular but the variety was good. You will always get out of the cruise what you want.to put into it. We had a great time but I felt roped into many options ie. We had the drink package but could not get bottled water for the statetroom. Had to pay. Did not make sense to me

Has changed since my last visit. French Quarter and bourbon seem to be filled with scammers and pan handlers. Beware. Food was great

We were on the ship last week, and we had our wonderful room steward, Oliver, keep our ice bucket filled. I poured that into an insulated mug that I brought and had a cold, fresh supply of water for the entire 11 days of our trip.

ESM, I agree on bottled water, expensive scam!! We drink the water from the Garden Cafe on every cruise also at the MDR’s

Did they have Crapes in the Garden Cafe at dinner? One of the best things on the ship

Makes no sense to me that people are so focused on bottled water...... how did we as kids suffer without bottled water growing up in the dark ages and drinking tap water...... research would've given you the idea to bring empty water bottles etc and fill them up with FREE delicious water at the buffet and multiple other locations around the ship including your stateroom.
