Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Included food was amazing. We went to Teppanyaki and it was only fair, would never ever pay for it again. Went to Rudy's Seagrill, massive disappointment. I don't care for seafood in general but live crab cakes. The crab cakes were huge but very mushy. I did not eat it.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Great trivia, circus amazing and awesome comedians. Family feud was very good. I missed the adult game show that replaced The Quest and was very sad by this.

Cabin / Stateroom

Cabin was great. Lots of storage. Tight fit in and our of shower if you are larger I'm sure. Bathroo. Quite small but nice. Our room Stewart did miss a lot of cleaning. Dirty wash cloth left in shower. Glasses not replaced and trash under couch.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

4 out of 5
Saturday in Miami , crazy. Uber driver took us so far out of the way of Publix. 20 minutes. It was very creepy. Ordered a pizza and it was almost 3 hours to be delivered. Pullman hotel has a free shuttle to Publix around the corner but I learned that too late.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
Beautiful but so hot and humid that we had to go back to the ship. Definitely not walkable in the heat.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5
Went to Maho beach. Would do again 100%. Might do an all inclusive next time.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
Went deep sea fishing through Carnival. It was great. Crew was amazing.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Did the Everglades excursion, very commercialized. It was 1 hour, they had 8 alligators in the area at all times. They were named and super predictable. As stadged as possible. Royals was much better.
