Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Water slides...my son definitely spent a lot of time on the slides while on board! He also enjoyed putt-putt! We did not use the pool or hot tubs at all as they were always crowded.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

We definitely took advantage of all of the many entertainment opportunities. The cruise director (Kevin) was amazing! He was always doing something! BK was def. an entertainer too. We all enjoyed the nightly shows (Divas, Epic Rock, etc...). The comedian (for both audiences) was great. The over 21 club was fun! The band that played by the casino bar was great! Loved the variety of music they played. Name that tune and trivia was a lot of fun!!! Loved that they had an Easter service on Sunday!!!

Nice port....It took a little while to get a taxi and then they took us to a different beach...Taino Beach (which cost more than the rate they told us) as they said the beach we asked to go to...Lucaya Beach.... was hit hard by hurricane. Taino was very crowded!
