Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

We had so many activities throughout the cruise! The pool games and rock climbing were my favorite, but my fiance and I also loved watching people try the wave simulator as a fun pass time!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

We loved our room stewards and waiters! We could not wait to see them each day to carry on conversations with them and to learn more about our new cruise family! They were always so kind and helpful, and did whatever they could to make things comfortable for us and to make our cruise experience amazing!

Weather caused our original snorkeling excursion to be cancelled, so we instead did zip-lining over the ocean! Which was a once in a lifetime amazing experience! We enjoyed having the beach and shops all in one area. The shops were very intimidating to go through, so we could not recommend doing that. But we loved being able to walk around and adventure, then sit on the beach for hours before leaving.

Falmouth, Jamaica

I would love to go back to Jamaica one day. We did the dolphin excursion that took up our whole day. It was lots of fun, and our tour guide "daddy" Norman was hilarious and great! The only downside is the drive is over an hour to the dolphin facility, hence why the excursion took the whole time.
