The line was long when we arrived. We were a little concerned. But it turned out that the staff was quick and eficcient to process the guests. We were through in about 20 minutes. I was impressed.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The dining room was a bit older looking. But it was very beautiful and had some great viewing out the windows and across the different levels. The food was presented in a very appealing way on the plates. I took pictures of the meals to remember how delightful they looked.

The shows were solid

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Great staff. They showed enthusiasm and leadership on all of the many activities that we participated in. I really enjoyed the events at the Centrum area. I liked the 70's and 80's party.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The staff was constantly washing the windows, vacuuming the floors, cleaning up dishes. I think that they kept the ship clean and ready for guests.

Ship tip

Some of the venues are hidden. Be sure to explore the whole ship to find them all.

Ports of call

Tampa, Florida

1 out of 5
This was not convenient. It is in the downtown area. We were confused by directions and missed the turn. It took us a very long time to turn around and get back to the right exit. Then we got in a very long and disorganized line waiting to drop off and park. There were taxis parked in line in the turn lane blocking it. It seemed like the incoming and outgoing traffic had to criss-cross. This is not efficient. I will look to Ft. Lauterdale or Cape Canaveral for future trips.

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
One of my favorite stops. So much to do. I went on a stingray and snorkel adventure. It was so much fun.

Cozumel, Mexico Did not visit port

The weather was poor - rain storm. We decided to stay on the ship.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
The crew was way ahead of schedule getting us off the ship. We made all of our connections easily.
