Ship experiences

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

The bionic bar was broken on day 1, the North Star remained broken the entire cruise, & the wine dispensers at Vintages were all broken. Aside from that, the only activities onboard were all sales pitches for jewelry, art, spa packages, photo packages, or other cash-grabs. Two70’s AV equipment was broken so there weren’t any shows in that venue. We were bored to death on this snooze-cruise.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The staff, even though the ship is short 300 employees, were all outstanding!

Ship tip

I don’t have any good advice, honestly. Best of luck to anyone else sailing this ship, cruise line, and/or itinerary.
