Review summary

I highly recommend. First time cruiser... but definitely will not be our last!!! Loved it all!!!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Long line but it never stopped moving.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Bought the cheers package. It was worth it!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Pools were not crowded. Hot tubs, there was always room. The side hot tubs could have been a little hotter but they were warm. We didn’t go to any shows except the towel folding, it was fun and we bought the book. Mini golf was fun but they need heavier balls. They are made of foam and its always windy on top. The balls did there “own” thing. We still had fun though! Movie selection on the big screen were top notch!

Entertainment

4 out of 5
They were great!!!! Dancers were wonderful!

Children's Programs

4 out of 5
My daughter went one day and decided it was not for her. She had fun but wanted to swim or do the slides and not stay in a dark room. They played games and lip synced and seemed to be entertained

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Staff was incredible. They could not be any better. They made our vacation excellent and memorable!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Always cleaning. The ship was never dirty. I got to know the ship in very little time. Easy to get around. Room for everyone!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Room was perfect size. Plenty of closets and draws. Loved our room!

Ship tip

Bring extra hangers, I did and was glad I did . Best advise though: Just relax and enjoy every minute because time flies when you are having fun. I recommend the HUB app

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana

5 out of 5
New Orleans is a place not like any other place in the world. Great city. Great people.

Montego Bay, Jamaica

5 out of 5
If I ever win the lottery I will be helping out this country. The people I met were beautiful inside and out. Their island is amazing! It was one of my favorite ports. We did a tubing excursion on the Great River. It was really fun educational and entertaining.

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
HOT. It’s very clean, very flat and very beautiful. We snorkeled and swam with the stingrays. So cool!!!!

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
I wish I had more time. We came into port late. And it rained.... well poured But still amazing. First time there and I enjoyed my time.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Way better than I thought it would be. When they called our floor to leave we took the stairs and dragged all of our suit cases. I do not recommend the elevators during this time. It was crazeballs. Once we got down it was easy we were off the ship in less than 15 min. I feel if we took the elevators we would still be there. :)

Welcome to the cruise addiction! For future reference, you can ask your room steward for more hangers. Glad your first cruise was a good adventure.
