Review summary

If you like long cruises to different ports of call then this four port of call is for you. Make sure your valuables are lock inside your luggage not on any zippered side of bags. They have baggage handlers that look for things to take. I had to small vials of cologne taken out of the zippered side of one bag and a couple of single earrings. So, you live and you learn. We had 3500 people and 1200 personnel onboard. If you really, really want to enjoy a cruise like this make sure you have the money for the excursions. It is not cheap.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The main dining room was a very good experience. The staff took care of every whim we had. We weren't able to visit the specialty restaurants because there was no need to. Brunch was off the chain, and we ordered everything. The buffet was endless, and I am tired of looking at food.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The fitness center is state of the art, the pools stayed crowded, there were plenty of activities on the hour every hour. The ship is huge and if you wanted breakfast early you were able to eat until it got like a mad house around 8:30 - 9ish. The track wasn't crowded at all in the mornings, we did a family reunion cruise and the kids had a ball.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Stage shows were musicals so I did not get into that, but, it stayed crowded. The comedians were hilarious and when people started getting wind of it you had to be in line real early. There was no time to rest if you wanted to do all they had to offer. I got real tired of all the walking.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
Our little cousins were kept busy doing all they had to offer for them.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Every and anything you wanted or needed the stewards, waiters, and personnel took care of it all. Room service was very good when we did not want to leave the room.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The whole ship was kept spotless, everywhere we went you would see personnel cleaning when they had nothing to do. No trash or anything was seen on board.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was small with balcony, and next time I'll know to upgrade. We had a different towel animal on our bed every day. If anything was needed we had our stewards number. Just at night the kids kept running through the halls. One of our chairs on the balcony was rusted.

Ship tip

Make sure you have light carry-ons, luggage locked, and be prepared for a lot of walking.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
We did not do any excursions, too expensive. Port of Miami was bustling and very busy with all of the different ships in port.

George Town, Grand Cayman

4 out of 5
No excursions, had to pay to go to the beaches and it was a nice beautiful place, to me, the duty free shops were higher than the stores back home.

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

4 out of 5
Had to take a sky lift to beach so we didn't have to walk so far. Waters were not clear and I did not get in. Was just not feeling it that day. There was a lot to do and prices are high to do anything.

Belize City, Belize

3 out of 5
It cost thirty five dollars to go to the beach, so y brother and I went to the downtown area and perused the shops. It's against the law to take pictures we were told by the officers there.

Cozumel, Mexico Did not visit port

After being out and visiting the other ports my legs could not take it no longer so I decided not to leave the ship.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
It was a breeze and they called out your number when it was time to disembark.
