Review summary

Service of the waitstaff and room stewards were beyond wonderful. Food is amazing too, but could use more variety. Activities, however, were virtually the same every single day with the same terrible music.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
quick and easy

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
dining rooms were great, especially the wait staff, but food at the buffet could be more diverse

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
I used the pools, hot tubs, rock-climbing wall. The pool was so extremely salty that I couldn't enjoy them at all.

Entertainment

1 out of 5
I hear the same boring, outdated, and generic music every night, if not more, and it almost drove me insane. The cover bands were alright, but there was zero variety in their sets. The DJ said he takes requests, but would not play anything I requested because the cruise seems to be afraid of playing certain whole genres. The activities are pretty much the exact same every day and I got bored by day 3. The game shows were by far the most interesting events.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Room stewards were always very attentive and friendly, and the room was always above expectations. Waitstaff in both the buffet and dining rooms were lovely, efficient, and always on point. Amazing service.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
the ship was too small for there to be enough activities for all types of people.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
a little too small for a large suitcase to fit perfectly, but otherwise perfect

This cruise is mostly targeted towards white customers.

being forced to get off before 8am is beyond ridiculous. they should at least adhere to the check-in/check-out times normally used by hotels
