Review summary
This is my second time cruising with this line and I feel like they like to cater to partiers. If that's what you want then book it. I'm repeatedly disappointed with the lack of clean entertainment and activities, it's always overtly sexual and raunchy, not my style. This cruise had an open bar and definitely catered to those who want to be drunk all the time. We were supposed to have a room with a pull down twin size bunk on the wall for my 16 year old son, but instead all we had was a miniature pull out sofa bed in which his feet hung over the edge.

Ship tip
No one was able to accommodate my food allergies since we booked the cruise only 2 weeks beforehand. There said I was supposed to arrange it 30 days in advance. So be sure to try to do that if you can because otherwise they don't care so being your epi pen.

So sorry to read that your son had a poor sleeping accommodations. Did the deck plan show that there would be an upper berth for him? If this is very important to your family, next time check directly with the cruise line about it or have your TA check if you use one.
I really admire a comedian who can make people laugh without being crude.

Wow, I had no idea that ship had slipped so badly in the last three years! I'm a dedicated drinker--yet HARDLY a drunk--I worry about the behavior displayed by those who exceed their personal limits. Perhaps the problem is exacerbated by taking a weekend vs. weekday cruise. What went wrong at Great Stirrup? We thought it was great! Although I'm far from a prude and like a bawdy joke, what constitutes "overtly sexual" can cross line. Got any examples? As for your health issues, you have keep in mind they order the food for the cruise WELL before embarkation day, including kosher, gluten-free etc. Hard to change the plan in midstream. Do they sell epi-pens aboard? (At a huge markup?) Please check out my videos and see if your experience on "Sky" resembled mine.
