Service and Staff

All the staff was amazing. Dustin, the CD was the bomb!! And the waiters and store employees were just as pleasant as can be! Even our room attendant was super friendly and personable! I just loved all the personal attention they give you!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Pretty much everywhere was great, except the windows on the ship and our balcony was dirty! Something was spilled or splattered previously and was not cleaned up, gross! And the windows on tha balcony were filthy, I also noticed other exterior windows being dirty. :-/

Ship tip

Check your luggage at disembarkment! there is no reason to lug it around with you when you can easily pick it up just before customs. I wish I had known this! Disembarkment is a pain in itself, let alone trying to do it with 2 pieces of luggage in tow!

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

What an amazing place!! The bar, and the BBQ, and the music, and the water........ simply put - its paradise!

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

Not a ton to do here. We did the sky ride thing, that was cool. We took the Ferry to St. John, and the ferry staff was SUPER knowledgeablee about the area, and told us about Blackbeard, and all kinds of cool history!

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
LOVED Historic San Juan. And the Walk, Eat Drink tour was so fun! Our guide, Nadia was super nice, and sweet! The Helicoptor tour was also AMAZING. All the people we met were so gracious and thankful for us being there! It was an amazing experience!

Grand Turk Island

3 words. Do. The. Catamaran!! What a FUN bunch of people on the Catamaran, snorkel, private beach excursion!! We had free rum punch, and an amazing time on the private beach! ALTHOUGH, the snorkeling was a low point. Too many people, and WAY too choppy to enjoy... But the rum punch, music and private beach more than made up for it! CHAKKA is the best!!

Disembarkation

oh my god. what a mess! This was the worst experience. the line went right by the customer service desk, which I needed to get to, and couldn't....... it was chaos. utter chaos trying to get down to the 3rd floor.. no elevators would come and when they did, they were packed already with people. then once you got to the 3rd floor, it was JAMMED full of people. There was NO staff anywhere directing people where to go or helping. I was very shocked at the lack of organization and lack of staff present.
