Review summary

Couldn’t do our planned excursions due to norovirus and second port being cancelled. Not sure I would cruise again. This was my 3rd cruise and although the others were sometime ago, I feel the customer service is lacking in many areas

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Buffets not so good! Main dining great! Not enough drink sections for included drinks! 3 out of 4 people in our party got the norovirus, which I feel was due to unsanitary food preparation! Lost 3 days of our cruise due to this, and 1 in our group was in the bathroom the whole plane ride home! Pool bat servers not friendly and long wait times

Onboard Activities

Appreciate your feedback. Sorry this cruise didn’t meet your expectations. Sailing during Spring Break is a challenge.
