Review summary

Cruise was great. Rough weather so we couldnt tender into Grand Caymans..got an extra sea day. In Nassau we did a segway tour. Lots of fun. The ship itself was good, but too large. If you go on this ship, be sure to book your entertainment as soon as you get on board. Difficult to walk through deck 6 since the casino was right above and was open. so cigarette smoke drifted down

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Cagneys was excellent. Tepanyaki not so good. Have seen much better at home. We got a novice cook. He could barely cook the food, let alone entertain. Moderno, was OK. again have better here in San Antonio. Main dining was done well. Barely any wait. excellent service Buffets were a madhouse. while they had many many station to get food from, the walkways were narrow. with people standing to get food and other walking, it was difficult to get around

Cagney's Steakhouse

Really good food. But very slow service. 2 hours to get through dinner for 2 of us

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

We tried the pool. Too crowded. Also no wait staff could be found. Had to go to the bar everytime to get drinks. Usually took 30 minutes because of the number of people getting drinks

5 out of 5

very good comedian. saw him 3 times - was hilarious every tme. The club host needs new material. 1st time was funny, but she repeated her routine. the only reason some people laughed is because she was laughing at her own jokes.
