Embarkation

5 out of 5

We purchased Faster to the Fun, and it was worth every penny. We arrived at the port at 9:30 a.m., and were having drinks on the Lido deck at 11:15. Everyone in the terminal was so nice and helpful.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food in the main dining room was excellent, and we had the best wait staff. Leslie and Sovi made our dining experience so much fun. Buffet on the Lido for breakfast and lunch was pretty good. Guy's burgers were to die for.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Everyone was so friendly. My shy, reserved, 12-year-old son danced with MDR wait staff two nights. Leslie and Sovi were the best! Cruise Director Melissa was fun. Cabin Steward Wayan always knew us by name and was so helpful to get anything we needed.

We did a beach/resort excursion to Grand Lucayan Lighthouse point. Pool was nice, beach was a little rough. DJ and activities at the pool were fun.

We went to Atlantis Aquaventure for the full day with lunch excursion. Can't say enough good things about this little piece of Paradise. We're already planning our destination vacation to Atlantis. One day just wasn't enough.
