Review summary

Obvious service challenges. The discount you reserve doesn't cover the reduction in experience. Essentially just a a booze cruise now, with kids.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Inevitable over cooked protein, under cooked vegetables, low quality menu, 30 minute waits in main dinning room... raw bacon, rock hard rolls in buffet

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
Overcrowded, unavailable pool chairs, over capacity.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
A movie of a Adel show? What entertainment? Poor... low cost, elementary school activities, i.e. arts and craft, sing along, ect. Bad. The main band played the same set 5 days in a row!

Well, just an FYI, you do know the rolls are CRUSTY right? But they are soft and delicious inside.

We have sailed on Serenade several times. We did not experience the problems you are describing.

I wouldn’t judge a cruise line or ship based on a cruise during New Year’s. It’s usually going to be overcrowded and have a party crowd.
