Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Our servers, Yulianto, Fransiska, and Baburam were amazing! They were warm, charming, patient, attentive, and were often the highlight of our evening!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Hottubs were often on the cool side, so we never even got into the pools! We did some of the outdoor games and that was nice and was a great place to meet others on the cruise!

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Elixsor 6 lead's singer was amazing! Their entire band was obviously incredibly talented and seemed to enjoy preforming together! Loved listening to and watching them!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
I was incredibly thankful for the friendliness and kindness shown to us by all the cruise staff, but there were some that stood out to me as making the cruise even more delightful. In fact, their friendliness and attention made it feel like we'd gained friends onboard who were looking out for us and enjoying us at the same time! Yulianto and Fransisko were two of those people! We would see them in various areas of the ship in different settings and they would smile and say hello adn tell us to have a great day and they remembered our names no matter where we were on the ship! It was amazing!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
It was always clean and beautiful!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our cabin steward Nat. was amazing and efficient!

Ship tip

Take the stairs as much as possible! Don't waste your money on the wifi- not reliable and nor strong enough to chat with family back home. Check the daily activities and enjoy them, they are great!

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas Did not visit port

Long drive.

George Town, Grand Cayman

Loved it! I'd go back for sure! Brown Sugar drove us around on a tour of the island and I'd hire her again in a heartbeat! She made the day for us!!!

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

3 out of 5
We went to Bamboo Beach resort for the day. It was just ok. Not disappointing. I was glad we went. Jamaica is just a bit of a run-down looking place.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Express was exactly that. We were in our car driving home in about 45 minutes after docking. It was brilliant!
