Review summary

Nice cruise. But disappointed about not docking in Jamaica. I didn’t think the Cruise director had a very big staff as I only show one. Not enough activities, ie: trivia, games etc.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The Main dining was not good. The wait staff was slow and food arrived cold. I was not impressed!

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Not enough trivia games during the day and evening, and when they did have them not enough room in the Atrium to accommodate the crowd. Usually had to get there 45 minutes ahead to get a seat.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

The bands in Syd Norman’s were good and the comedians at Headliners were good. Again the areas were small and you had to be there 45 minutes in advance.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

The bartenders and staff were very good. My room steward did a great job. The staff at the buffet were good. But Main dining and at Cagney’s the wait staff were not impressive!

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

The closet space was hard to get to due to the couch. Everything else in the cabin was nice. I wish they offered an ice bucket though.
