Review summary

A cruise is definitely what you make out of it! With this being my birthday cruise 🥳 my sister and I made the best out of things and ultimately had a great cruise.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Very smooth. Boarding time was selected for 12:30-1:30. Got there around 11 and had no problems getting on through.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Honestly the food wasn’t that great specially in the MDR. But the tacos and grilled sandwiches were amazing!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

They had everything for everyone while you came solo or with your family. Which I thought that was great! Check out the $1 for gold in the jewelry. It was such a sell out they did it for 2 days.

Entertainment

I forget his first name but, Love as the cruise director wasn’t as hyped as others I cruised weigh in the past. If nobody would’ve told me I would’ve thought he was apart of the “hype crew”. I really wanted to get into the musicals and love marriage game but it was all meh.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Honestly they were all amazing!! You can tell some we’re tired of course from living on the ship and catering to some really rude employees. I seen two incidents when older adults talked and acted extremely s@!$!y to the crew for absolutely no reason. PLEASE BE KIND TO THE CREW THEY ARE HUMAN-BEINGS WHO ARE AROUBD FROM FAMILY TO MAKE A LIVING

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

It was an older and smaller ship which I loved! I don’t know why getting to the MDR for breakfast and or dinner was complicated because you had to void a down floor then go up a floor … idk just thinking about it now is confusing me! Lol. But all in all a nice cozy ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

If you forget your non-surge outlet, there’s an extra plug behind the tv! 😉

Ship tip

No need to book an excursion for grand turk! Natives had allllll the deals on good beach chairs , drinks and water sports! Just don’t forget cash like I did 🥴. AND GO TI TGE CRAB SHACK
