Review summary

Good cruise, well worth the money. Improvements to the entertainment and ship activities are needed. STOP THE SMOKING IN THE CASINO...i wanted to gamble but kept choking on the SMOKE which drifted outside of the casino.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation was very quick and easy.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Good as always. Spent $35 each for the steak and lobster dinner experience, well worth the money.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
To be honest, the activities on board were a little boring. I stayed on deck in the pool area most of the time and surprisingly it was no scheduled activities in that area like on other ships i.e. the Elation which used the main deck as a central activity location for the guest with dances, contest, ice carving etc.

Entertainment

1 out of 5
There was a DJ on board, but they played the same line of songs over and over. It would be nice to have a more diverse song selection and not hear the same string of songs over and over again for 6 days. The same group of songs where also used in the vegas style entertainment...just too much.

Children's Programs

did not bring kids with me

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our stateroom steward Oka @ tel 32403 was very friendly and attentive.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Every effort was made by all to keep the ship clean and tidy for the guest

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
clean and tidy all day

Ship tip

More activities for the guest on the central deck where everyone gathered. Announce the activities in other locations especially for those not connect to the app. A different movies for each night, there was way too much repeating of movies, music etc. I wanted something to do while others left the ship and there was nothing for the remaining guest...very boring while onboard.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

5 out of 5
clean and efficient

Nassau, Bahamas Did not visit port

i have been there several other times...not enough motivation to see it again

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island) Did not visit port

Again, i have been here before and there wasnt enough motivation to see it again, been there , done that

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
the ship should make guest aware that there are beach chairs/umbrellas on the beach for them so they are not scammed into paying for one. This is money i could have used to make purchases on the ship. I loved the island, but it needs some TLC as you walk further down the beach you can obviously see the devastation of storms etc.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
Absolutely beautiful. well worth getting off the ship.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
very quick and easy

Completely agree. I don’t smoke but can tolerate some but the number of people doing it is overwhelming sometimes. It does seem less and less but wish they would nix it out.

Yes the smoke was very heavy. That's way I didn't gamble

I agree about the smoking! It's disgusting and makes everything smell. I don't even go into the casino, but you can smell the cigarette stench in other parts of the ship.

I gotta think it can't last that much longer. There's definitely smokers in the casinos but every year it seems to be less and less
