TSS IslandBreeze/Big Red Boat III

Your Rating:One Stars
B>Reviewed by: M.Stephens
# previous cruises: 1
Date of Trip: August 5, 2000
Itinerary: Mexico-Eastern

Overview
Overall the cruise was good and we had a good time. The ship layout is very confusing, everyone was lost at first. The last night of the cruise was ruined when my husband went by Club Europa to get our 11 year old son. When he went into the club, the DJ was playing extremely vulgar and profane music. When he went to discuss this with someone,the DJ told him that was not allowed in the kid's club. No one at the main desk was interested or did anything about it. They just blew him off!!!Hopefully, this was an isolated incident?????? Basically, I think we paid too much for this cruise. Go only if you get a real good deal!

Public Areas
The public areas were very clean, but the chairs were not always very comfortable. The pools were small, the casino nice, but a really money pit.

Food and Service
The food was very good in the main dining room and buffets. Get the cherries jubilee! Service of the waiters, room steward, bar staff was excellent most of the time. One time we were 2 minutes late to the lunch buffet and they would not let us eat even though others were still going through the line.

Cabins
Cabin was small, but adequate. The cabin and bathrooms were kept very clean.

Entertainment
Entertainment was good, especially the latin band Mallcu and Island Magic.

Activities
Parents are not allowed in the kid's Club Europa. Maybe because they are playing dirty music and do not want parents to hear. Club Europa staff was rude when asking parents to leave. There were a lot of other activities to keep them busy such as pool games, scavenger hunts, etc.

The stop at Vera Cruz Mexico was OK. People in Vera Cruz were not overly friendly and made fun of the tourists. Do the rafting excursion in Vera Cruz. Playa del Carmen was nice, but too little time. I suggest that you just go to the beach since there is not enough time to do anything else. We could not get off the ship until 1:30 since the boat was not docked and tenders were used. You could take a ferry to Cozumel at your own expense if you wanted to meet the ship. Cozumel was nice, but also too short a stay. We were given 2 hours less than advertised on the itinerary.

Who Goes
Nice passengers of all ages.
