Review summary

Overall we met wonderful people and had alot of laughs. Staff were great and attentive. Ship needs some TLC and cabins need to be reconfigured!

Embarkation

2 out of 5
Late embarkation due to prior cruise removal of items with a crane.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Long lines for complimentary dining. Confusion and lack of orgranization in handling a large group of over 100 people entering dining room before those waiting on a very long line!

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Lack of music in pool area for those spending time at the pool.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Kudos to the majority of staff who were quite pleasant. A few waiters in O'Sheenans appeared to be tired or did not know how to smile. But then again they do work long hours.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5
Overall appeared worn. Third time on this ship forgot how horrible the balcony rooms are. Lack of space and redesign of rooms badly needed. Only one person at time can get ready for the day.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5
Cleanliness was excellent due to our Steward. Size prohibits functionality and privacy.

not really alot to see do as we have been here many times.

George Town, Grand Cayman

2 out of 5
Docked too far away from Grand Cayman proper. We were flagged not to dock there although two carnival ships were docked there. We had to tender and then take transportation for an approximate 20 minutes. No free shuttle buses were provided.

Harvest Caye, Belize
