Review summary

For my first cruise I was extremely disappointed and am not sure I would choose a cruise for my next vacation or ever again.

Embarkation

2 out of 5

It was complete chaos. For a first time cruiser, no one provides any direction on where you go and what you are supposed to do.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The buffet was average. The main dining room was nice and you can actual relax and enjoy your meal. The bars were crowded and just chaotic.

Palace Main Dining Room

5 out of 5

The Palace was really good. The food was excellent and the service was also. You could sit down and relax during your meal without any of the chaos like the buffet.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

The pool was small and taken over by rowdy college students. Did not feel comfortable letting my 15 year old swim in the pool or in the hot tubs.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

The Casino was nice but the bartenders there were rude and not so inviting.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

There was some staff who were very inviting and amazing, from my experience the staff was Guest Services and the Room Stewards. The staff at the Palace were also very nice and did their job really well. Other than that....not really friendly or helpful. Disappointing.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Staterooms were very small and the walls were so thin. We heard everything going on in the hallway including all the drunk people running up and down the halls and knocking on the walls.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

5 out of 5

The island was big enough that you could go to your own area and enjoy peace and quiet. The bars were not very crowded and the beach was very clean. It was beautiful.
