Kevin was not my favorite cruise director, DJ saxy left much to be desired. You can only hear "play that funky music white boy" so many times in a week 😣

Ship tip

Go early to the shows. Seating is limited and we, along with probably 40-50 other cruisers, actually sat in the floor for one of the comedy shows

We traveled with 3 young teens and didn't leave the port area. We spent the day in the pools, water slides and zipline. The cabanas look very nice and I will definitely get one by the pool next time. It was very hot. We love this port and can't wait to come back.

The most beautiful port! Perfect beach day for our family with 3 kids. The splash area was fun for the youngest. The water was so clear and just gorgeous. We've been here twice and will return.
