Review summary

Friendliness of the entire staff was noticeable & appreciated on the cruise. Our waiter staff ( McKoy & Erhan) were friendly, funny & served us impeccably. The 2 cruise entertainment directors were funny & outstanding especially with their ad lib and off the cuff comments. Really have to give a shout out to the Ukrainian & Russian staff members ( Very friendly and personable). Getting on & off the ship was quick and easy. No long lines & waiting like other cruise lines.

Stateroom attendant Jules Bolivar met our every need. Great job !!

Ship tip

Get to the pool areas early or you won't find a spot to enjoy the pools. Empty lounge chairs needs to be enforced. We saw towels on lounge chairs for hours. Not fair for rest of passengers.

Ports of call

Tampa, Florida

5 out of 5
Need to tell passengers to spend a day in Tampa before the cruise. Tampa is a "fun" city. There is a lot to see & do in Tampa.

George Town, Grand Cayman

Highly recommend the submarine, rum bakery & turtle tour. Need to delete the stop in Hell. Waste of time.

Cozumel, Mexico
