This was my 6th cruise. We had 17 people and we had a fabulous time. However much of that was due to just being on a cruise with family. We took this particular cruise because it went out of NYC.

The food was OK. I love Mexican food, but not on this ship. Their burritos tasted like curry and probably contained Asian spices. Still there was plenty to eat and nobody went hungry. They made very good pizza all day and night. I enjoyed the hokey dancing and singing by the waiter staff in the Golden Peal restaurant. Getting our dinner was very slow. However some of our people ordered multiple appetizers so that might contribute to the problem. We had 6:00 seating and were never out in time for the 7:30 shows. Fortunately the big theater is adequately sized to handle most all of the people comfortably.

The staff was all very friendly, but not the most organized. We were very disappointing to find that karaoke with the live band was cancelled because they somehow booked the same room for the kids camp. Don't they run this same cruise every other week?

Cabin Review

I did really like the room. We had a double bed and bunk beds for the kids. I thought it was more spacious than past rooms.
