Review summary

The staff included some of the most hardworking, funny, kind, friendly, and creative people I have ever met in my entire life. The food was spectuacular and I will always crave to have just a taste of it again. The room was small, crammed, and noisy, but the towel animals and the beauty of the view from the balcony made up for it. The excursions were mind blowing and once in a life time experiences that I will remember for as long as I live. Overall it was great.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The dinning room staff made our dinning experience special and enjoyable, especially Adrian and Dedik. The two people who worked at the cafe on the 5th floor near the casino were spectacular. Their names were Jelint and Iryna. They were super funny, danced around and sang, were super helpful, and generally looked warm and pleased to be doing their jobs. Our room steward always was eager to help out and answer questions. Everyone who worked at the spa were accomadating, good at their jobs, and knew what they were doing. All the spa staff were great and especially the lady who did my facial, though I cannot remember her name, and the lady from the UK who helped me at the front desk. Generally all staff members were hard working and happy to do their jobs.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everywhere on the ship was clean and pristine. The staff were hardworking and made sure any trash on the floor or anything out of order was cleaned up quickly. The layout of the ship was easy to remember so I never got lost.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The bunk beds were suprizingly comfortable even though several people hit their heads on the top bunk and ran into the ladder. The size was pretty small but we managed. The room was always clean and pretty. We loved having a balcony. However, it was hard to sleep at night because above us were kitchens or something so we would hear loud bangs all throught the night.

Ship tip

The ice cream on the 5th deck is the best I have ever had

Montego Bay, Jamaica

We went on the bus tour of the island. It was interesting and a great experience except the people selling stuff were pushy and there was drugs, especially weed, everywhere. I was scared.

George Town, Grand Cayman

We swam with the stingrays. I only put my feet in the water because I did not want to swim woth the stingrays but it was nice to see them from afar, look at the crystal clear water, and to feel the cool water on my feet.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
It was amazing! We got to see the ruins at Tulum. It was a once in a life time and a mindblowing experience for me. The staff was great and we really got to go back in time and learn new things.

Disembarkation
