I think its time to take this Ship out of the cruise business, or use it for some other venue, not seven day cruises! It lacks in to many areas, food, entertainment, recreation. First, the food, the raffles buffet, is nothing more than a place to fill your belly, very mediocre, if not just bad, the breakfast menu was hard to swallow after a couple of days, definitely needs more variety. The gardens and window dining rooms are passable, however, I wouldn't write home about them! I find it odd that they both have the same menu each night! There seems to be a push to add more pay restaurants on these cruise ships, I believe, the all inclusive buffets and dining rooms will be phased out a little at a time, until there are no more! My first cruise, in the mid nineties (bigger ship,no less) had one pay restaurant. This little ship has 5, I believe.

I guess, my personal, biggest complaint, there was no sports bar or for that matter, anyplace to catch the score of your favorite team. I've never been on a ship that didn't take advantage of all the sport nuts out there, I believe Spirit missed out on a big cash cow, by not having one! Behind the casino, in that mostly empty room would be perfect!

The entertainment was very poor also, the magician was pathetic, the aerialists were received well, but if you had ever seen aerialists before, these two were very amateurish at best! Same with the comedian, and by the way, why did we not get to see him after the first night introduction, until the last two nights of trip? I guess he waits tables the rest of the week! Read more
