Review summary

Not an amazing cruise, but it was a good way to see the Caribbean. Disembarkation at every port was super unorganized as everyone would just gather in the small atrium, and it would be a free for all to get off the ship. A free for all is what best describes this cruise.

Food and Dining

Specialty dining in Le Bistro was amazing, however, in the MDR and buffets food was often dry (especially chicken), room temperature, and bland.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5
Waiters had noting special to them as they never seemed to create a connection with their guests. Service in both MDRs were supper slow one dinner even took us three hours. Staff wasn't very friendly. However, Cruise Director Carlos was amazing as he was super funny and informative.
