Review summary

For my 1st cruise, I gotta say I'm hooked. Unlike any vacation I've ever had. Next one is booked already!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We paid for the faster to fun and also had my wife's aunt which is a platinum. Embarkation was as smooth as can be. No problems what so ever.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The main dining room food was good, the service was as well. The buffet wasnt bad. Not the best food but it wasn't bad. The steakhouse was very good. We ate for free but I would have paid the $38 per person for it. Guys burgers was worth the wait when there was one. Over all a great experience

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Shows we're good. The performers had their acts down. It takes alot of practice and dedication to perform over and over. Good shows

Children's Programs

No children with us

Service and Staff

1 out of 5
All the waiters, our steward, and all the other personal were great. Ship was always clean. They were cleaning all the time.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Very clean ship. From sun up to down, you always see someone cleaning somewhere. Very clean ship

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was a perfect size for the 2 of us. Always clean. Well maintained. No problems whatsoever with the cabin.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

1 out of 5

Montego Bay, Jamaica

3 out of 5
Jamaica wasn't my favorite. Not a bad experience just wouldn't hurt my feelings if I didn't go back

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
Great port. Went shopping and magritaville

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Best if the 3 ports in my opinion. Shopping is better for the wife. We did the dolphin swim at dolphinaris it was amazing. All inclusive food and drink package. Well worth it.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easy as getting on. Perfect
