Review summary

From the cruise director and her staff, to the restaurants and buffets service levels, the quality of food, and the entertainment, was all below par compared to your competition.

4 out of 5
The best part of the cruise

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Service was extremely slow in the restaurants. The buffets food mostly looked like leftovers.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Pool size / hot tubs were insufficient for the amount of passengers.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
Five night cruise and really only two nights of shows

Service and Staff

2 out of 5
Again restaurant service was slow, tables in the buffet areas could have been cleaner, and our room steward never introduced himself until the third day.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Internal layout and design was updated in 2018. Buffet areas need better cleaning.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
The front of the vanity in the bathroom was not completely attached to the base. It was fixed on the third dy

Ship tip

Improve the variety and quality of the food.

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas Did not visit port

Ten foot seas prohibited anyone from going ashore. We spent the whole day at sea.

This is an older ship on a shorter itinerary primarily aimed at first time and budget conscious cruisers, and tends to attract more of a party crowd. Try a newer ship on a longer itinerary and it will usually be a better experience
