Review summary

Nice trip wonderful entertainment interesting boat. Disappointing dining - but we are not foodies anyhow.

3 out of 5

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Maind dining room is crowded and noisy. sat one night with my right arm up against a pole. Never got a refil on coffee, 3 nights was offered coffee after dessert was finished. Any time dining is a mad house but the buffet is even worse. Poor choices unless you really like hot dogs or hambergers. Seems more for children. So pick your poison.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Added pickel ball. Most seniors were unaware and missed out. They were disappointed. Not advertised but our 2nd day while trying to find a place to eat breakfast we stumbled on it. Would encourage more court time and better comminication.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Best part of the cruise. Best overall entertainment for any of our prior cruises or cruise lines. WOW

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
the dinining service was terrible. seems like in and out is the goal. RTest of the service was very good.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Big ship, like the design and we enjoy walking so averaging over 17,000 steps per day just getting where we wanted to go, Only used the Walking/jogging track one. no need to.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
fine for a 7 day voyage. Longer could be an issue due to limited closet and drawer space.

Ship tip

Book you entertainment well in advance of the departure date.

4 out of 5

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Went to the Myan Ruins in TULUM with lunch and a beach stop. A long trip and well worth it.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
we self disembarked. Toook about 45-50 minutes until we were in our car (parked onsite) and ready to go. A lot of people self disembark so seems reasonable. At Cape Liberty (bayone NJ) same thing takes about 15 minutes.

Did you do the specialty restaurants?? we pay for them since the food is much better there.
