Review summary

Overall we had an amazing time on the cruise. This was the largest boat we have ever been on and although there were over 5,000 people onboard, it did not feel overcrowded. There were many places for people to hang out and many different options for food. The staff on the boat were amazing and the ports were awesome.

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Buffet was lackluster, did not eat at any specialty restaurants, main dining room was good. Loved Guys Burgers, Pig and Anchor, Shaq's Chicken, Blue Iguana Cantina, Street Eats, and Miami Slice. Coffee in the buffet was not good.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Trivia and karaoke were fun.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Was disappointed in the Dive In Movie selection throughout the cruise. Not enough shows in the main theater but the performers were very good. Very much enjoyed the magician and the violinists.

Children's Programs

We traveled with older children who did not participate in the children's programs.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The service was stellar, no complaints. Our state room attendant was amazing, as were the dining room staff.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Staff were constantly cleaning. The layout of the ship was easy to navigate.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Good amount of space for 4 people. The two twins(king)were comfortable. However, the pullman and sofa beds were not comfortable, there needs to be an extra layer of mattress for both. Our stateroom attendant did an amazing job.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

4 out of 5
This was our third time in Amber Cove. Rented one of the poolside cabanas. The staff in the port were very attentive and friendly.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
This was our third time in San Juan. Walked around Old San Juan and also spent time at Escambron Beach. The beach area was beautiful, the water was clear and warm.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
This was our third time in St. Thomas. We spent the day at Morningstar Beach. The beach area is small but the water was clear and warm. Great area to snorkel!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We carried off our bags which made this process very easy. Took about 20-30 minutes from the time we left our room until we were off the boat.
