Review summary

The was probably the best cruise I've been on. It was the first for my girlfriend. For me, it was about the tenth. The ship was actually overwhelming. There was so much to do and see onboard. It was unbelievable that it holds over 6000 cruisers.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation was smoother than I could have expected.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The main dining room had a couple of challenges. The lobster was less than expected. However, the service was outstanding. The attention to detail was great. And even though the lobster wasn't quite up to par, the head waiter, Jayson, made it right.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
On board we spent most of our time in the Solarium hot tub. When we did venture out we experienced a lot of fun.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The comedy shows were great. We really enjoyed the Oceanaria show and the Headliner, Earl Turner. The DJs and the band in Dazzles could stand some improvement. The band knew the words that were on the tablets in front of them. However they didn't "know" any of the music they were singing.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room steward, Beverly, was absolutely awesome and so very personable. Waiters were very attentive. Some bar tenders seemed to be only doing what they were asked and no more. Others added some graciousness and were happy to serve.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
One word, AWESOME!!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The cabin size was perfect. It was very comfortable. We experienced great sunsets on the first part of the cruise and wonderful sunrises heading north.

Ship tip

Buy the KEY program. So many advantages. Get the drink package that's right for you, with or without alcohol. Buy the 3 premium dinner special and make 150 Central Park one of your dinners.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
We spent the night before the cruise in Miami. Visit The Knife restaurant in The Marketplace.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5
We bought the Rain Forest excursion (not from RC). Great zipline, the Flying Dutchman, and view of the island,

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
We did the old San Juan tour ending at the mall. Great!!

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5
Dragon Zipline. Enough said. Also, the beach is great, if you can avoid the rocks.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easy and smooth.
