Review summary

Mat did a wonderful job as director. He was a very busy man all week. We had a wonderful time on the ship. The comedy shows were very entertaining. Zach was very entertaining at piano bar. We enjoyed the music from one end to the other. The Encore shows were fabulous. Cassino was a fun late night hangout. Lido deck was always a blast especially while having competitions. Excellent service from the staff. Food was all you could ask for. Our steward Rupert was very nice, professional and helpful.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
I actually preferred the buffets over the dining. Food was just as good but dining room ( while being entertaining) was just to time consuming for us...

I was amazed at how well the ship was maintained. The crew worked very hard the whole time.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our cabin was much more than I imagined. My boys stayed across the hall in room 8299 an interior room. It was much smaller and a little cramped, but what we expected...

Ship tip

Take advantage of all it has to offer.

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana Did not visit port

We drove right in and boarded the ship.

Montego Bay, Jamaica

4 out of 5
The port was ok at best. We went to sunscape splash resort for our excursion. It was a good setup. The kids had fun but not much entertainment for the adults...

George Town, Grand Cayman

4 out of 5
The port was ok. We took an excursion to feed stingrays, snorkel and have lunch at rum bar. It was fun but everything seemed rush rush rush. The day went by very fast....

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Cozumel port was excellent. Everyone was nice and shops were awesome. We visited Mr. Sancho's for the day and was not disappointed. Beautiful water, excellent service and all you could eat and drink at your fingertips. Really enjoyed this excursion and port.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
