Review summary

Too many old people with electric skooters thinking they can speed and they run into you

Embarkation

2 out of 5
You would figure that a cruise line would do the following: 1. Handicap 2. Veterans 3. All others by number But your given a time to show up and there are already 1000 others there

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Food has gone down hill on this ship, it lacks taste etc

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Race track great Water slides great VR great Having a giant hot tub on the back deck absolutely stupid

Entertainment

2 out of 5
Elements and Footloose great, they don’t utilize the Spice H2O area enough

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Staff bust their butts for the cruisers

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Having a Cigar lounge on a different deck than a whiskey bar is just stupid

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5
So much noise after 12am, whatever they are moving in a restaurant after it’s closed is stupid

Sounds like cruising is probably not for you or must be a new cruise or who did not do much research or plan. It’s always important to choose a cabin location that has other cabins above, below, and around it for less noise.
