Review summary

Great time was had by all. Already looking forward to the next cruise vacation.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Embarkation was smooth, although we were running late on the cruise shuttle since it departed MCO a full hour later than we had anticipated

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
All of the food was very good, although we hoped for a few more veggie options on the buffets

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Always lots of activities to choose from that we had to rock, paper, scissors which ones we were actually going to do sometimes

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Great DJ on the pool deck and funny comedians too

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
My niece is 6 and LOVED the kids camp. She ditched us adults often to make and play with new friends

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The service was wonderful, especially Steve, our Stateroom Attendant. He really made my niece's cruise the best with his towel animals and understanding, often having to stop back at odd times for cleaning because of naps or swimsuit changes

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The ship was clean and well maintained, especially for a full sailing.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
My sister and I have cruised before so the room was exactly as we expected. My niece loved to sit in the window and watch the sea go by.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

4 out of 5

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
Discovery Cove was perfect for a 6 year old!

Grand Turk Island

4 out of 5
It was very relaxing to be able to just walk off of the boat and on to a beach. My niece loved swimming in the waves and looking for sea shells
