Review summary

Overall a very nice experience. Except for the Ocho Rios port of call, everything else about the cruise was enjoyable.

We were able to board early and lunch was available while waiting to depart.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The Guy Fieri burger bar and Blue Iguana were excellent, also the omelet bar. Meridian dining was also very nice.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Pool area was nice, sky cycle and obstacle course were also enjoyable.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We found them by accident, but I thought the highlight of the trip as far as entertainment goes was the Event Horizon band. They played nightly sets featuring different genres and were great at them all.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The room steward, Novi was awesome.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ride was extremely smooth. Boat was also very nice and well laid out.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The cabin was laid out well with the extra bunk that dropped down from the ceiling. We really enjoyed the balcony.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
Very convenient to the airports and easy entry/exit with an Uber ride.

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

1 out of 5
Unless you do an excursion I suggest not even getting off the boat. The cruise lines should really warn the passengers about the locals. I was asked to smoke marijuana at least five times. Street people are also extremely pushy trying to push their "free" items on tourist and then wanting money once they hand their stuff over.

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
Port area was very nice with great shopping. Locals were very nice and not pushy. We did a snorkel excursion to a sunken ship that was enjoyable.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
Nice shopping area near port. We did the Dolphinaris "VIP" experience which I had mixed feelings about. The actual time with the dolphins was very nice. The rest of the "VIP" experience seemed a bit gimmicky. We were not picked up until 1:30 P.M. Were supposed to be able to paddle board and were not given time to do so and left around 4:30.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very Smooth
