Just got off the Mardi Gras. I was so unimpressed. Our large balcony was really cheap, though, so that’s a plus. The cabin steward and the steakhouse servers were very friendly and probably the highlights of the cruise (and comedy). The bed is ROCK hard, but our steward got us an egg crate and that helped. The lido food was bland and repeated the mains every other day. We ate in the MDR twice, and it was terrible. Maybe because we had my time dining, the servers were quick to get us out and not overly friendly. They did ask our names, but never used them. The food was tasteless and cheap. Except for the steakhouse, and Rudi’s, the food was subpar at best. I don’t get people’s fascination with Guy’s pressed pan seared burgers, and the selection is small at blue iguana. I ordered a filet mignon on elegant night, and it was fatty and chewy like a cheap sirloin. Oh yes, elegant night….the dozen or so people that dressed up were a nice addition, and then there were those in sneakers and button down shirts (at least they attempted) but everyone else were in shorts, tank tops, baseball caps and flip flops it was like morning on the lido. Second elegant night we just went to Chibang…and no lobster there.There were people screaming profanities at the guest services desk several times we walked by…real classy. The grand central was a terrible idea for shows. People walking all around and in front of you was terribly distracting to the shows. And the shows weren’t even that great. It was like they had the same 7 performers do everything. Celestial String was alright, but they just ran around or slid around removing layers of clothes the whole show. Clearly lip syncing at times for sure, and the ariel bits were just lifting people in the air and floating them around a little. Absolutely NO acrobatics at any time. Voodoo was just a variation of celestial strings or vice-versa. The adult comedy was good though. I give them props for that. Don’t sit in the first row, lol! Overall the ship lacked any real elegance, I’ve been used to sailing RCL and MSC. Of course, this is all subjective. I can see there bring lots of people who love the wild range, spring break like atmosphere. The bartenders also need training. If you don’t order of the menu they rarely know how to make it. Even if you do order off the menu, they forget to add ingredients sometimes. Alchemy was okay, but they rotated bartenders so you’d get lousy bartenders even at Alchemy. Disembarking was a nightmare, we had regular, not early, and chose #26 tags. By the time we got through customs, it was 11:30am…3 hours after leaving the cabin…worst disembarkation ever.
