Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Food was good but desserts were not that good. Pizza bar was great. Anytime dining was awesome!!

Entertainment

5 out of 5

There seemed to be a lot to do for everyone's tastes and activity level.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5

Absolutely the best. The space for the program was great, lots of variety of activities and the staff were wonderful! They always placed safety first and all the children were having a ball. Many didn't want to leave when their parents came to get them as they were having so much fun!!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Staff was wonderful. They were polite and happy to help make the trip a comfortable and fun trip to remember.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Rooms were wonderful (we had a mini suite) and layout was great for storage. Public areas were clean. They had hand sanitation stations before all buffets. The pools were great. 2 for adults only and 2 where children were allowed. Only thing we didn't like was there wasn't one complete dec that went all around the ship. The promenade deck had steps and the jogging track wasn't a complete oval either.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Rooms were wonderful (we had a mini suite) and layout was great for storage. Bathroom had lots of space and plenty of room in the closet. Having the balcony was also a nice treat! Bed was comfortable and linens/towels were great quality as well.

Ports of call

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5

Everything is right there. The water beautfiul and lots of activities from water sports to volleyball to sunbathing. Even a special place for the little ones with a playground and activitiees! BBQ lunch was just so-so but then you can always go back to the ship to eat if you want.

Coki beach was great. A short cab ride and the water was beautful - no need to pay to get in and wonderful snorkeling. The fish actually swam up to you in waist high water! Cardows is a great place for buying jewlery!

Great Bay Beach! Right there off the ship and close to the shopping so you can do both and not miss anything!
