Review summary

We had a fantastic time. We did a lot of walking. We met some wonderful people and ate some wonderful food. The countries we visited were beautiful and the water was fantastic. It’s so blue it was very relaxing and I can’t wait to go on another cruise.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
They were amazing. Everyone was so friendly and was willing to help if needed.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Pool, shows, spa There were not enough pools on this ship. Also the time we walked around trying to find a chair to sit in when people would just put their towels in the chair to save them and then they would be empty the whole day was a aggravating. The shows were great. The massage was wonderful and relaxing but when they push the products they need to tell you the prices. Also check your charges because although I paid for my massage they charged me again. They did take it off but I had to take the time to go to customer service.

Entertainment

Great t

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Couldn’t have asked for a better group. They were fantastic. They were always there to help and they were so friendly.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
It was confusing. I didn’t like that there was only one deck that you could go all the way across the ship. I wish there were more dicks that you can go from one end of the ship to the other.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The staff was always there to take care of us, it was always kept clean, and they were fantastic and so nice

Ship tip

Be ready to walk

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

4 out of 5
Took a long time.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
Beautiful stop call mom cooking with the Dominican shift was so much fun dancing with the dancers and and enjoying ocean world. It was a great day.

Grand Turk Island Did not visit port

I was not vaccinated with the Covid vaccine so they would not let me go ashore. And then the day we got back home as the day they dropped the Covid vaccine thing. It was ridiculous if I had known that they would not let you go on this poor I would’ve never taken this cruise just because of that.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
We had used our passports, although the wait was long to get off the ship, we were able to go straight through and not have to wait

Appreciate your detailed feedback. Glad you mostly enjoyed your cruise. It can be frustrating when things change as soon as do/don’t do something.
