Review summary

This is the first cruise I've ever had problems in. I was even surprised when someone from the front desk told me that I couldn't bring any outside drinks/snacks from the ports (Disney, Carnival and Celebrity allows it).

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Fast and easy.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Buffet was okay, but only had 2 seafood items on Good Friday. Not enough orange juice. My son found a hair on his pasta in one of the restaurants and the pasta was not cooked right.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
None of the activities were interesting.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Shows were okay. They had a lot of singers instead of DJ. The DJ was not that good, almost always empty dance floor.

Children's Programs

4 out of 5
My 16 year old son enjoyed the club.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
One of the restaurant waiter stank of cigarette. A person in charge at the buffet brushed me off when I asked for something. I got charged twice for a purchase because they forgot to void one. I was charged 2 beers when I hate beer and than they said maybe my son, he is 16. Room stewards was the only best personnel, friendly and courteous.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everything was clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Everything was great.

Ship tip

Hopefully your trip is better than mine.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

Didn't do any excursion, but the port needs to have places where to eat or hang out while waiting to go on board.

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

It was nice, didn't do any excursion, but I didn't find the hammocks.
