Review summary

Not my favorite cruise line. The dining experience and "Free Style Dining" not all that is cracked up to be

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
I ate more hot dogs and burgers than I ever have. Lines too long, main dining room had same menu over and over. No seafood, no shrimp, no lobster, no night any more special than the other.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Long lines or class canceled. Tried going to paint class for 7 days, never happened. Did enjoy Priscilla Queen of the dessert was great.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
DJ's and pool entertainment was great, most of the entertainment was good, funny and involved the audiences

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Staff and crew were generally very friendly. I asked some of the staff where things are and some had no idea what I was asking or talking about ?

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Very nice ship design and very clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
The size is a too small. I have been on several cruises with different cruise lines and never had to coordinate which way I wanted to go because there is no room for two people to pass each other. Never had that issue with Carnival or Royal Caribbean

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5

Tortola, British Virgin Islands

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
It took me 1 hour and 10 minutes to get through customs. I assume the one custom officer was a way to jab the governments shut down

I enjoyed the Epic and Freedom dining but I also enjoy set dining and getting to know the people on my table. Pros and cons for both ways of dining.

I found it to be great. If you like someone else controlling your life then go to the rest
