Review summary

Seriously, I think you should really inform your customers that there is a College Spring Break event during a certain time. They were very loud, obnoxious and generally just made everything an ordeal. Yelling outside our room while we’re trying to sleep, waiting and waiting on line to get a drink, taking over nearly every area of the ship so we couldn’t relax, the entire pool deck was covered with portable speakers so there’s about 20 different kinds of music playing at once, waking up every morning to have the pool deck littered with plastic cups, vomit on the bathroom floor on the first night...had I known this was going on, I would have chosen a different week. Pretty disappointed.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Line moved quickly and check in was very simple.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Drinks were excellent. Buffet was average and the restaurant took a very long time for everything, to order, for drinks and food. The table next to us didn’t get milk and sugar with their coffee. It was busy, but definitely could be improved.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

The art auctions were a lot of fun. We mostly stayed away from everything else, as this was a “Spring Break” cruise (unbeknownst to us)

Entertainment

Children's Programs

I don’t have children.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The staff and housekeeping were very friendly. Bar staff was extremely accommodating- as again it was a “Spring Break” cruise and every bar had a crazy long line.

We have gone twice during spring break and going again in 5 days. I think they are entertaining.😋

I think the official Spring Break cruises were Monday - Friday not the weekend cruise.

Do your own research if you don’t like the college crowd! That’s on you!

For spring break I would recommend 7 nights. Never had a problem.

Would have thought checking whether your dates clash with spring break or school holidays is the responsibility of the traveller... How are the cruise company supposed to know who likes spring break and who doesn’t?
