Review summary

We had fun, I was able to relax. But as mentioned before I will stick to any season but summer in the future. Lol.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
It was ok. Not the fastest nor the slowest.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food was pretty good. If we didn't care for something we just got something else. The lines were horrendous for Guys, Mongolian Wok, and the Deli. Only ate those on a port day when it was slower. We are in dining room because we had the best team ever.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
As mentioned it was very crowded on sea days. But the kids stayed entertained for the most part. Me I was there to relax.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The one show I went to was entertaining (80's). The violinists we're good. The movies on deck were ones we had seen. The one comedian we saw was ok.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
Excellent for youngest but too crowded for the older. They said was really rowdy and not much fun as usual.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
I cannot say enough about Nengah and his team in the Posh dining room. He was the best that I have had in years. He made the youngest origami every night. Remembered everything you preferred. Was engaging and fast which is difficult when they are so short handed. In the past 3 cruises we have typically not gone to the dining room every night but went each time on this cruise. Made, our room steward kept us tidy. We did not see much of h as he was very busy.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
As usual very clean ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Very clean plenty of storage.

Ship tip

If sailing in the summer take your patience. Lol. I love the Conquest class ships.

Ports of call

Grand Turk Island

4 out of 5
I love Grand Turk and don't usually do an excursion. But Mardi Gras was there with us so I booked the Island Vibes your. It was informative and fun.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

5 out of 5

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

Further adding… Realize the Reviewer was vocal about Busy SUMMER for cruising + had her family along. As a Mom, nothing against kids, but I’m WAY-Past that chapter SOooo More Adults cruising is my intent!

Fully-agree that cruising when schools are likely In-Session is best! Doing Freedom in March + looking forward to trying this Ship…. 🚢
