Review summary

This ship is in fantastic shape. The crew are awesome!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation was super fast and efficient. We we were on the ship by 11:30. The lines were short and the employees were very helpful.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food exceeded my expectations. The MDR was great most nights. The my time dining room was under staffed on formal night and it was a little chaotic. Sushi making class at Izumi = A+ Bottomless Galley Brunch = B- Seafood in the Windjammer 1st night = A Breakfast selection in Windjammer = A MDR meals (roast turkey, duck la rounge, rack of lamb) = A MDR deserts = C- (the creme brulee was runny scrambeked eggs) Park Cafe = B

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The fitness center was clean and had very nice equipment. Both pools were nice and clean and were operational the entire cruise (No kid pooping pool bandit issues). My teen daughters really enjoyed the rock climbing.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Saw wild & James - they were pretty good. Rick the Italian singer that was trying to be Sammy Davis Jr. was decent. Broadway Rythem and ryme was great. The most musically gifted person on the entire cruise was Captian Marek. His Bon Jovi singing was a highlight of the cruise.

Children's Programs

4 out of 5
Adventure Ocean was great. There was one of the workers there that seemed not to be having very much fun. But the othets were awesome and our child loved spending every minute there. The AO check in and out process on this ship could be more efficient

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Service was great. There is something special about the service you recieve on tbis ship. The employees really care about you and I believe that is a reflection of the captians attitude.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
This ship is really 20 years old? It is in fantastic condition and always clean. It looked great for the entire cruise.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The cabin was not the biggest we have had but there was an amazing amount of storage. It was always clean and pretty comfortable for its size.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

4 out of 5
Galveston is a fun island. Had some really good Southern seafood the night before the cruise.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
We had a blast at Playa Mia. The only draw back was that our taxi dropped us off at a mall across the street from the international pier and we were swarmed by sales people.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Fast and effective disembarkation.
