Review summary

What a delightful experience. An amazing ship with a stellar crew. We ranged from ages 21 to 77 and there was always something for all of us to do, see and eat. Highly recommended!!!

Our Northstar experience was wonderful. The view is absolutely breathtaking. You can see forever. We also really enjoyed Ifly - Alex and Dexter were fantastic. Two bucket list items - check!

Entertainment

"We will rock you" blew my mind. I liked it so much; I saw it twice.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Remy, Jeronimo and Abraham made our main dining room experience something I looked forward to all day. By the end of the cruise, they could all anticipate our needs before we even knew them. The entire staff, throughout the ship, was always friendly and smiling. They were always busy working but would still take the time to interact and have fun. AC made my husband's coffee perfect every time. Thank you AC. Luis was our room steward and made coming back to our stateroom exciting and pleasant. I completely fell in love with your hand washing staff. As an RN, I understand the importance of hand hygiene and you figured out a way to make it a fun experience that people look forward to instead of grumble about. Brilliant. I have selfies with so many of your wonderful staff members because so many of them went out of their ways to make everything a bit more special.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Well-maintained and very clean. The ship's layout was a little cluttered and lacked a big WOW factor.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We loved our stateroom. The bathroom is quite roomy with the corner shower. Plenty of room in the shower to wash all your parts easily. More than adequate storage with large closets, plenty of hanging space, shelves and drawers. I loved that our bed was right next to the balcony, but not all the rooms are designed that way. The balcony was spacious, clean and private. Luis provided excellent customer service and was a complete delight. He was accommodating and went out of his way to make us feel special.

Ports of call

Cape Liberty (Bayonne), New Jersey

5 out of 5
Parking was easy, even with the delayed debarkation of the ship. It was cool that I could see the statue of liberty from my balcony!!!!!

Port Canaveral, Florida Did not visit port

Not interested in any excursions, nothing to see in port.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5
My group did the jet ski excursion. This could have been more enjoyable. No experience, quick tutorial, get on the jet ski, now go full throttle, try to keep up and don't fall off. Also, no pictures of the event proving I had survived. None of us wanted to risk getting our phones wet. If Royal Caribbean had taken pictures, I would have purchased them. There could have been many picture opportunities throughout the island. It could have been a real money maker. The island is beautiful with a great lay out of having a thrill side and a chill side. Perfect. The people were so nice, friendly and fun.

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
We only went in the immediate port area to look around and do some quick shopping. It was very fun to see all the cruise ships lined up. There were six total. What a sight!!!!!

Disembarkation
