Review summary

This was the best cruise I've been on so far! Book!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Very smooth. We basically just walked to the ship!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Everything was excellent! The food in the dining room, and various other restaurants around the ship, was superb! I wish Guy's Pig and Anchor was open longer though☹

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE DIVE-IN MOVIES! It's so much fun to sit in the pool and just watch an amazing movie! Mini-golf is always the best and , honestly, just walking around the ship and seeing everything is beautiful.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Idk how the playlist cast isn't panting like dogs on stage. They work so hard to make exciting shows nearly every night. Lip sync battle is a replica of the actual thing but better! I ran into the lady doing the battle and she was not an actor but a person, which you have to admire.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
(Kid writing this) Circle C was so much fun! I made so many new friends! I even still have their phone numbers.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The cruise is dependent on how trained and how enthusiastic the staff is. Luckily, our staff was all that and more.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everything looked new. I never thought that anything was dirty or unusable due to its cleanliness. Now, I have a 2 small problems with ship design. 1: I felt like some areas were cramped and not given enough space. And 2: Where are the bathrooms on this boat?! When I need to use the restroom it was either on a different floor or it was so hard to see that I walked past it. Eventually, everything was fine and I knew where to go.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
For 1/2 people, everything would have been fine. However, I shared a cabin with 3 other people! The cabin was SO SMALL! You couldn't open the closet door and bathroom door at the same time! Trying to get ready for Elegant night in the dining room was AWFUL! There was NO ROOM FOR ANYTHING! We had family cruising with us and one of the families got a balcony room. It was paradise in there. There was more space in there and the balcony was nice. Cleanliness of the room was very nice though. Case and Point: If you have more than 2 people you're traveling with, get a balcony room.

Ship tip

Do everything you can because it'll be over before you know it.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5
I don't count this as a port, but it's pretty nice.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
8/10 nice. We did the waterfalls of Damajagua as an excursion. IT WAS AWESOME! The hike up was grueling, but when you reach the waterfalls, be prepared for the time of your life.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

7/10 pretty good. We didn't do an excursion this island, but we grabbed a tour bus guide and hopped on. Definitely, if you're not doing an excursion, find a tour guide and let him give you a tour. It's very nice. Anyway, the island itself is okay. You can go to Maegan's bay or up the Mountain, but that's about it. There's a great gift shop on the mountain top though that sells banana daiquiris (alcoholic or virgin). They're SO GOOD! You have to have one.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
9/10 very nice. I know a lot of people went snorkeling/scuba diving here, but I think that should be saved for Grand Turk. Again, we did a van tour, and it was astonishing how beautiful everything looked. Especially the capital building. Just go there and go inside. You'll see what I'm saying. Just amazing.

Grand Turk Island

10/10 Excellent. This your beach/ocean day. I went on a Reefs, Conch, and Rays excursion (PURCHASE IT). The water was SO BLUE it looked fake. The fish and reef were just so beautiful. Also, you get to kiss and pet a wild stingray! Honestly, best port and excursion so far.

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
I HATED DISEMBARKING! Everyone was trying to get down one flight of stairs! Plus, if someone does something wrong, none of the crew can do anything because what are they going to do? It was just unbearable.
