Review summary

7 day cruise, best place was grand caymen. Would definitely go again to grand caymen, if other places were available

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Easy and went quickly. Was not sure what to expect for our first time but was pleasantly surprised.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Everything was delicious. We didn't have any complaints about anything.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
My kiddos loved the pools and slides. Mini golf was great as well and finding the giant chess board and teaching the kids to play was a great memory.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We only sat for clue, but the kiddos had a blast going around the ship to find the clues

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
We had Roger in the MDR. He and the staff were beyond fantastic. My son specifically attached to him, and 3 years later my son still talks about him.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Was very clean, nothing was dirty rooms were nice. It was our first cruise so nothing to compare to

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Fit 5 of us perfect. We thought it was plenty of room. Clean and staff was amazing

Ship tip

Definitely take the trip. Book this ship and you won't be disappointed, unless you have extremely high expectations, but then nothing would make you happy anyways.

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana

3 out of 5
Port area was alright, wasn't the cleanest by any means. The actual port was huge and had plenty of room, staff was efficient and area clean.

Montego Bay, Jamaica

5 out of 5

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5

Your family seems to have the perfect attitude for cruising. Five people in a room and everyone thought they had plenty of space. That is awesome. You will have lots of great vacations together!
