Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Buffets were ok but the bacon never tasted right, it just never tasted like bacon. We skipped a couple dinners because nothing on the menu was worth going to sit down Pizza was really good We tried the sushi one night, not bad but didn’t like it was an extra charge

Guy's Burger Joint

5 out of 5

This was great food and service. Way better than some of the sit down dining we had. Lots of sauces to choose from for extra flavors

BlueIguana Cantina

5 out of 5

Fresh made tacos were fantastic. Wish we had gotten to try the breakfast burritos they served but missed them. Again a separate fixing bar to customized your food

Sky Bar Sports Bar

5 out of 5

Larry the batt was great. He remembered everyone’s name and drinks. However it’s a sports bar with 3 set channels so there was no NHL games which was disappointing for me and many others. Luckily there is a ticker with all the current sports so you weren’t totally lost

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

We did a lot of trivia and Aretha is a hoot. She is always smiling and laughing. She remembers people as well

Tahiti Casino

3 out of 5

They allow the smokers to smoke there and at that bar in the casino so that is why it’s only ok.

No, drove to the port. Didn’t like that the ship was at a port with no covered parking

Nassau, Bahamas

Walked around real quick, not much to see. Enjoyed the ship

Thumbs Up 2

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

3 out of 5

Stayed on boat to enjoy the ship. Had the drink package so not worth going to the island since you could not use it there

Grand Turk Island

I love this port. The water is so blue and amazing. I always feel great there. We did the coast to coast tour this trip. It’s a small island so it’s fun to see

Thumbs Up 2

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic Did not visit port

Stayed on ship to enjoy it. Not much to see and no desire to do the excursions
