It wasn't great, but I still enjoyed myself.

Review summary

If this was my first cruise, it would be nice. Since it's my 7th, it was ok. I wish they'd played Caribbean music on the boat, seeing that is was a Caribbean cruise.

I did not like that when we arrived at Half Moon Cay, the gift shop was closed. There is not much to do on the island and shopping would have been something else to do other than swimming.

The gift shop should have been open in addition to the few vendors that were opened.

Kathyt58, depending on the ports, you will be greeted with carribean music when you step off or return to the ship. Be mindful that you won't hear much raggae if you are visiting Mexican ports

When we went on the Dream a couple of years ago a Dj played all kinds of music while we were sitting by the pool. Did they have a Dj on the elation?

My first cruise is in September disappointed to hear they don't play Caribbean music it just makes sense that Caribbean would be theme of the ship after all that's where we are going. Can you tell me directly the play any in port?
