Great

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Pools and hot tubs were quite crowded, but that is expected. Kids weren’t impressed with the water slides. Kids loved ping pong tables most of all

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We saw several comedy shows which were offered at 7pm with a PG version, awesome to be able to take our kids to. Then an adult version later on.

Children's Programs

Our kids did not participate.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Room was kept up well. Our best review is regarding waitstaff and a particular bartender that knew our names after 3 days and really made everything so fun for us

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We were surprised by the size of the room, which was adjoining our kids room. They had plenty of room for their 4 twin beds (one was a bunk) and a door between our rooms. Bathroom was bigger than we expected as well.

Ship tip

Book early so you can dine when you want. We signed up two months before sailing and ended up with late dining at 8:15, with kids not our first choice

Ports of call

Miami, Florida Did not visit port

Just there long enough to get on ship

George Town, Grand Cayman

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

Beautiful place but we didn’t do an excursion so hung out on beach. Because of safety we didn’t dare take a taxi anywhere. I recommend booking an excursion

Belize City, Belize

5 out of 5
Booked a snorkeling trip thru Carnival at Goff’s Caye- the most beautiful island in the world?! I recommend taking a mask and snorkel along to extend your time after the guided tour, since we were in island several hours before going back to ship. Awesome trip!

Cozumel, Mexico
