Review summary

We normally go on RCL, but the dates and itinerary matched our schedule when we booked this cruise. Unfortunately our itinerary changed from the Eastern Caribbean to the Western Caribbean, due to the hurricanes this year. We were very impressed with the high quality comedy and broadway type shows. Food was good with the burger and pizza places open most of the time. 1. Very Disappointed with the WiFi upgrades that were non existent. We 2. Hand sanitizers were usually empty where food was being served. 3. Didn’t gamble until the last night, because the casino was way too smokey. Overall I must say cruise was great!

Room Steward, Robert, was excellent! Sink was slow to drain and it was fixed in a timely manner.

Ship tip

Port side balcony room is the way to go. Watching and clapping with all of the late comers to board at each port was hysterical!!

Zipline and cave-tubing was awesome! Don’t forget bug spray! Remember you’re in a jungle in Central America!

Took a long time to disembark. Would recommend not leaving luggage outside cabin to be picked up. Leave with your luggage in the morning - you will get off the ship quicker.
