Review summary

All in all we had a great time! We had very high seas for over 44 hours during the January 1/20 - 1/27/18 cruise but made all our ports! Cold, rain, sunshine and hot/humid all in one cruise!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Got there after our 12:00 check in time and walked right on the ship!

Loved the food here!

Entertainment

1 out of 5
Very smokey and only 5 machines were non-smoking and machines near smoke draft was right past the non-smoking machines. It saved me a lot of money cause I couldn't take all the smoke!

Children's Programs

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We had an Aft facing Balcony cabin and loved it! It did have a lot more motion from the seas, but we never heard engine noise. We did hear the comedy club (Ebony Cabaret) nightly between 7:30 pm - 12:15 am if we were in the cabin, not very loudly but you knew a show was going on! Had soot on balcony one night but not much, just a little was noticed. Overall we would book this cabin again in a heartbeat!

Ship tip

Breakfast burritos in the Blue Iguana was great! Also Guy's Burgers were the best I have ever had!!!

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

3 out of 5
Did the 10 Best of Miami and airport transfer to FLL and the tour was good! Traffic in Miami is terrible! Airport drop off beware! They only have a few designated drop off points and we had to walk a very long way to get to Southwest Airlines lugging all our luggage on uneven sidewalks!

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5
Best private island ever! Soooo beautiful! We had the turquoise Cabana and had a great time!

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
We did the Turtle Cove Snorkel excursion and it was great but very long walk to the catamaran, at least 3 blocks away! No ppl using walkers were allowed as no storage for them on the vessel. They make very very strong rum punch! Beware they cover the boose with sweet punch!

San Juan, Puerto Rico

3 out of 5
Just got off the ship and went to Walgreens close by to get some telfa pads and wow were the prices sky high!!!

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
Did the Segway tour and loved it! Island still had a lot of damage from hurricane but is recovering nicely!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Had the 10 best Miami excursion and airport transfer to FLL so we were first off. No wait.

Wow, high seas but made all your ports! We had a little wind, a little choppy and couldn’t make st kits after a 16 hour trip there.
