Additional details
If your planning on taking this cruise, you better get used to it! We needed to relax and we did! The cabin was comfortable (6265) and close to everything but the dining room. We navigated our way the first night and it really wasn't a big deal after that. The elevators are ridiculous! People, at some point you just have to wait for the next one! Several times the weight limit light came on and people had to get off. That's just nuts!
The Crimson dining room for early seating was nice. We were at a table by ourselves which I have mixed feelings about. We don't have children so we spend a lot of time just the two of us so maybe some company would have been nice. But it was what it was and we enjoyed our meal time together. We didn't enjoy our meals, but our time was nice. Lol...the food is just BAD. Not repulsive or putrid, just not good! The pizza and ice cream helped. Everyone raved about the wok place, so I waited in the LONG line and got some...YUCK! The buffet was ridiculous with weird salads and vegetables smothered in herbs and strange sauces. We did eat lobster and I did get two (which still wasn't enough to feed one person) but I was ok with that!
The comedians Eric Schwartz and a black guy from South Carolina who was very funny kept us entertained. The only reason I remember the Schwartz guys name is because it's his show title! Sorry. I won in the casino on the second night and that was it! But I won enough to pay for our trip so I was a happy girl! Drink service, slow everywhere! Pictures weren't as good as in the past, just kinda hurried. Probably because of the four thousand people on board. This one not so great. Just hum drum. Beautiful? Yes. No motion sickness! Yay!
Cabin Review
Balcony
Roomy and enjoyed the balcony. The closet stinks! I mean literally, it stunk.
Port Reviews
New Orleans
Embarkation ok. Debarkation a mess! Disorganized to say the least! The buses are everywhere and the rules for one don't apply to the other. Several near misses due to people just not paying attention and keeping things pretty congested for no real reason.
Grand Cayman (Georgetown)
Beautiful place! Shopping and friendly locals. Drank from a coconut and it was cool! My husband was not a fan but I liked it! Something different! I also liked the novelty candy store with nostalgic candies, it was fun just to wander through it.
Cozumel
Been here many times. We went to Three Amigos, don't do that! Over priced and very generic food. They had another place we should've done but I can't remember the name of it. The food was bad and I really wanted something good to eat since the ship wasn't delivering! Old, cold and stale chips and watery salsa. Not good! Got good t shirts though!
Montego Bay
Dirty place that I'll skip in the future. Nothing looked like anything I just had to do and reviews kept me from venturing very far. I trust those reviews based on the experience I had just inside the port. I'll leave it at that!
