Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
We were give Anytime Dining and ate in the American Icon Grill. Food and service was very good. We had reservations for all but one night and even without we were able to be seated,,,there are lines but they move pretty quickly. The food in the buffet Windjamer was also good. Lines there, too. most of the time. But, again they move quickly. Room service was disappointing. The continental breakfast orders were incomplete the two times we placed orders. The full breakfast took an hour plus to arrive plus there is a $7.95 fee for hot food.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
My granddaughter enjoyed many of the activities, the pools and hot tubs.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The shows were magnificent. We saw Mama Mia and Blue Planet and they both were more than I expected. Worthy of Broadway productions.

Children's Programs

My granddaughter is 14.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Every staff person I encountered went above and beyond to be helpful and courteous.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Although very big, the ship is amazing. Beautiful, lots to see and do and they kept it immaculate.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Though not as large as other cruise line balcony cabins, ours was comfortable and kept very clean. The cabin steward was wonderful.

Ship tip

If you have Anytime Dining, be sure to make all your dinner reservations early the first day.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
Always enjoy sailing from Miami. Although we hav done tours on previous sailings, we flew in a day before but did not do any excursions on this trip.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

4 out of 5
We did an independent tour and it was enjoyable. The tour took us to both the Dutch and French sides of the island. Only negative was the traffic.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

4 out of 5
We did a cruise line tour and it was fun, entertaining and educational. Unfortunately, the air-conditioning on the bus stopped working half way through the tour.

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5
The "Labadee Traditions" tour was great. Learning the history and traditions of the island was fascinating and entertaining. The attractions on the island many and fun. The tram was very helpful. The beaches are beautiful.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We disembarked late and it was still crowed. But, things moved quickly and efficiently. Glad we used a porter to get us to the pick-up area for Lyft.
