Review summary

Id not do it again, nor would I recommend this cruise. I love the all day at sea because I love the water, lots of sea life to see, but the ship is not great for entertainment.

Food and Dining

They were alright, nothing great anywhere.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

The worst, everything is an extra fee and the free options were dismal at best.

Entertainment

1 out of 5

Because they insist you make reservations for shows, and everyone does this day one asap (we didn't have a clue) we missed getting any. The frustration of this caused us to almost nothing.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

No one seemed to like their jobs. The unhappy was clear.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Didn't like the design of several areas, just personal preference.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

It was great.

Ship tip

Know that you must sign up for events day one or miss out. Know you'll pay for everything beyond simple basics. Zero participation from cruise director basially.
