Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Steakhouse was awesome, food in the MDR wad ok, but not overwhelming. Guys, blue iguana and Mongolian wok were delicious, deli was great. During evenings the only ice cream machine working was the one on aft deck.

Ports of call

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5

I love Grand Turk. Beautiful beach right at Port with your choice of Margaritaville or Jack's Shack. You can rent a golf cart and explore or take an excursion! Lots of great shops too!

Miami is beautiful but expensive. Miami Airport is the worst I've been in.

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

Beautiful but not much to do here without excursion. Water shoes needed to get in the water. Sail and sign only here, cheers cannot be used.
