Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Ate mostly in main dining room. Our waiter, Edwin and his assistant, Dewi were so very eager to please. Also Mario called us family by the time we left. I felt Windjammer could of had more varied selections. It was the same everytime. Had breakfast on deck 3 and at Solarium Bistro. Very nice. Also had lunch in Central Park. Had I realized I could of went there for a huge salad for lunch, I would have eaten here for lunch daily. Save me some calories and very tasty. Sprinkles was such a treat. I ate these ice cream cones daily. Loved the pizza place and the sandwich snack place on Deck 5 for snacks before bed. Hot dog place in Deck 6 was good. Loved the sauted onions on the dogs. We did not eat in any specialty dining areas. There was too many places included in our package for free. Did not feel we needed to spend extra.

Onboard Activities

I used the spa. They add a 30% gratuity as a hidden service charge. My massage was terrible. All they want to do is sell you extra things for your face. I would say this was the most disappointing part of the cruise which is one of the things I normally enjoy. The pools could be deeper and larger instead of such large wading areas. On sea days very crowded.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The tap show was terrible. The Effectors show geared to kids. Loved the ice show and aqua show. Wished the comedy show was longer. We loved the karaoke and the adult quest

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our bathroom flooded Everytime we showered and wasn't fixed until end of cruise even though we told our room steward several times. He did clean up each and Everytime and left us extra towels to help sop up the mess. Our room was neat and straightened every morning. Our main dining staff...I can't say enough. Felt like we left family behind. Edwin, Dewi and Mario were SUPERB! IF I could rate higher than a 10, I would!

Ship Quality

Very clean. Well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Perfect size...actually bigger than expected. Love inside cabin because it is dark and I slept well.

Ship tip

Make reservations for dinner. The my time dining is ok but they prefer reservations and will work with you. Give yourself plenty of time to eat and to see your reserved shows so you don't have to rush. Also link up with your fellow cruisers on the RC site so you can send each other messages easily and find people that are traveling with you. I enjoyed the week of not using my fone.

We did not do any excursions other than to get off ship and shop in the areas available as my friend that we were traveling with has cancer. Cococay was a blast!
