Review summary

First 3 days over are very chilly and no out side activities. Be sure to take warm clothes for first 3 days, a lot of people were buying clothes on ship to keep warm. The cruise was wonderful and weather on Islands were 75 degrees and sunny. I would recommend this cruise to everyone.

Embarkation

Fast and furious. Due to airline cancellation of flight boarded at 3:35 pm along with 14 others. We didn’t have a I line!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
First night went to Crown Grill and enjoyed the special attention we were given along with the fabulous dinner. Anytime dinning was great we got to all shows at 7:00 pm. Had a sea food delight at the Crab Shack. Only one night the crab shack was opened.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
They were constantly cleaning and disinfecting all the time. The Ship is old and the rust on the balcony was scary, you could see where part of rust had rotted away. The mold smell was horrible and caused people to go to medical,us included

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Very spacious with lots of drawers and shelves. Had a couch with table and chair, good for morning coffee. Bathroom with tub was great. Had plenty of counter space and wall shelves. Also a shaver plug which my husband was happy about. Lots of plugs and USB ports. Even a plug in hall for night light.

Ship tip

Don’t go till after.pril as they are going to dry dock to fix the many leaks all over the ship from faulty pipes.

Good suggestion about warm clothes. We missed Mauii when we did this cruise. Same reason rough seas. It was a fabulous cruise though. Glad you enjoyed!
