Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Lots of choices and great food. Buffet was higher end buffet but still just a buffet.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Hot tub was nice. Had to nab it on a shore day while most of the ship was empty. :)

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Children's Programs

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Everyone was very friendly and on top of their game! Cruise Director Schwartz was amazing!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

No issues with design except bathrooms seemed hard to find. The elevators are not as confusing as some make them out to be. People are just impatient. Common areas were very clean. The bathrooms not bad by any means but maybe need a little more attention more often.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Very clean, plenty of room. Loved having the balcony.

Ports of call

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

3 out of 5

Did not do excursion. Just went to Margaritaville. Don’t like dealing with the vendors. Not just Jamaica but anywhere with this type of setting. Too many people doing the same excursions.

Thumbs Up 3

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5

Had excursion booked but opted out due to rough sea. Got a refund with no problems. Took bus/taxi tour with Ruth Blair. Very nice lady that offered a lot of interesting information about the island.

Thumbs Up 5

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5

Very cute area just off the pier. Lots of shopping and food. Did the buggy and snorkel excursion. Was fun. Memo and Julio were great guides. Very funny. Food at lunch (chicken fajitas)was very good. Interesting ride back to port as we went through the downtown. Had opportunity to see how people lived. LOTS of crazy people on scooters! :)
