Review summary

Enjoyable cruise. The only warning it would make is be aware of timing of your cruise. I didn't expect all the college Spring Breakers.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

We were fortunate enough to begin embarking early. It seemed like a speedy and organized process.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

We started our day off with 6:30 coffee in the room delivered by room service (quite timely). Taste and Savor were our favorite restaurants for the morning meals. Tried to the buffet a couple of times as well. However, it gets so loud and busy quickly. O'Sheehans still has the best wings. The Manhattan Room always had quick seating (for two) every dinner we showed up at. The one disappointment was the Supper Club. We saw Rocket Man (Great Show!) there on our last night. The service was terrible and the meal was lacking. Dessert (I didn't try it) was delicious I heard. No choice of the main entree. I guess I wasn't a fan of the chicken dish they were serving that night. When the show was over we went upstairs to O'Sheehan's to have a better dinner.

Don’t go during spring break winter break or summer otherwise loads of kids and college students. We always plan when all schools are in session makes for a quieter and more relaxing cruise.

True!!! We were told spring breakers go on a 5day cruise, to get back in time. We were told this when we went on last year on Triumph! Out of Nola. 🤔💖🛳
