Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Ours was great, since we were Diamond. However, if you didn't know to get tickets for shows, tenders to private island and other on-board activities, it would make many mad. We ran into a couple who had to wait till 1:00pm to get off the ship for the private island Tender. That is insane!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

North Star (hubby), a small note, even tho it shows on the Compass it goes out to the side, it does not hubby disappointed. When we asked why not, no one seemed to know! Bumper cars were a lot of fun. Ping pong, fitness room, and the spa were great.

Entertainment

Everyone in my party thought the shows were very well done. Maybe not all to our taste, but very professional.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

The only thing, besides the service, was the oddness of the ship's balconies. With a zig-zag side, we didn't get to see as much as we normally do. However, that is being very critical. The bed was amazing! Storage was normal, but it never bothers us, we always make it work.

Ship tip

Get your show tickets in advance, and when you get on the ship the first day, go to the Customer Service Desk and order your tender tickets, if you are going to Coco Cay Private Island.
