Review summary

Overall we had a blast. Ate too much food (All free and it is available 24/7) and got too much sun! Drank too much and relaxed a lot. Saw as many shows as we could. Tried as many new things as we could (ox tongue, rabbit, lamb, seared tuna).

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

We ordered Bottomless Bubbles but wish we wouldn't have...there is free water, juice and coffee 24/7

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Pools were crowded. Wish there was a more fair way to choose participants for activities. It seemed like they just picked the biggest idiots.

Entertainment

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Most of the staff was helpful and very kind. They even remembered our names, which I think is a big deal when there are 3700 guests. Some staff would talk down to you or treat you poorly if you asked questions.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

The ships layout was a little confusing for me. Everything was kept nice and clean, but it was hard to navigate from place to place sometimes.

Ship tip

The cruise line charges for EVERYTHING! Wait until you board the boat to book anything (including excursions) so you get a feel for it first. Sime people paid $40pp for a beach excursion in Jamaica and my husband and I walked 5 minutes to the beach and paid $6pp to get in.

Nothing fancy. No excursion.

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

3 out of 5

Definitely got a taste of what Jamaica is like. No excursion. You are CONSTANTLY having to decline offers from street sellers. They want to braid your hair, give you a tour, sell you fruit...anything! It gets exhausting after awhile. And every street shop has the exact same things.

George Town, Grand Cayman

4 out of 5

We wish we had more time here. We visited the Cayman distillery and would definitely recommend the tour if you are into vodka and rum. $15pp for tour and unlimited shots of all of their products. We did not book an excursion. We took a taxi and the bus and saved money.
