Review summary

It was ok...the fine dining was the best part of it, but to have a 1:00 am curfew for kids that's under the age of 18 is not good, way too much drama, running, cursing, and being just disrespectful. It was 8 of us cruising this time on you guys, but I think we will try another ship for next cruise. Thanks so much for your time.

A lot of dirty plates and dishes left out side rooms for a period of time.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5

We had a nasty odor always coming from the toilet. There was a bad coffee stain on the drapes by the bed area.

Ship tip

Do not go around Spring Break, that 1:00 am curfew for kids is ridiculous!

My husband and I was standing in line to get off the ship, we waited so long, I started asking questions about why it was taking so long, and none of the crew knew what was going on.

The best curfew of all: Virgin Cruises. No kids allowed.

@HoustonLady1. The kid's curfew depends on the cruise line. For example, Youth Curfew Guests 17 years of age and under who are not accompanied by an adult in their traveling party, 21 years of age or older, must be clear of all public areas by 1:00am. Norwegianhas a 1 a.m. curfew for all teenage guests, unless they are accompanied by their parent/guardian.
