Review summary

We had a great 9 day cruise from Bayonne.

Pros:The entertainment was fantastic, especially We Will Rock You. Room was clean and functional. Our room attendant was a wonderful,  friendly man. Tons of onboard activities for us and our teens. Food was good.Cruise director Dru was very entertaining and accessible.

Cons: Stops at Islands were too short, I understand they have to have limits, but it was still frustrating. Onboard activities and dining can be hard to get reservations, they need to be booked prior to the cruise as we found out. It would be nice for the cruise line to have some sort of transportation to and from the Newark airport, it can be very expensive to take taxis.

Book onboard activities and restaurants prior to cruising to guarantee you can participate. (Although they do have standby lines for most if not all)

Go to El Morro and walk arond the grounds. This will likely take up most of your time in port.

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

If you don't like being hassled by vendors stay away from the marketplace!
