Review summary

This cruise was enjoyable! Just what the dr ordered!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We normally get Faster to the Fun but missed it this time around. Even without it we had a smooth process!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We only dined in the MDR a couple of times. The first Elegant night and we did one other, but for the most part we ate at the specialty restaurants. My husband loves the Steakhouse so we did that the first night (it's a tradition whenever we cruise together) We did The Bonsai Teppanyaki restaurant (twice) so that should let you know exactly how much we enjoyed dining there. The food at most of the restaurants was totally tasty!!

Service and Staff

I have never (knock on wood) had a bad room steward! Everyone on the ships are wonderful and the fact they make it a point to remember your name on a ship of 3,000+ is phenomenal!

Ship tip

A tip would be to enjoy your vacation and ship! Don't get upset about long lines (at times) and remember that you are not supposed to be worried about the small things!

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
Miami, FL is always wonderful whether you have something planned or not. Our normal tradition is to go to Bayside Marketplace and have dinner but because of "Spring Breakers" we didn't go out this time.

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
Jack's Shack for Jerk Chicken and a great drink! I think next time we need to do Margaritaville. They seemed like they were having a ball!!

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
We only went to the Bacardi Distillery while at this port. We didn't do much sightseeing but the tour director at Bacardi Factory was very knowledgeable about the Rum factory. It's a must do.

Basseterre, St. Kitts

5 out of 5
We did the Carambola Resort and even though the sand burned my "foots" lol it was just amazing! The mountains and crystal clear water just makes you cast your cares to the wind!

Philipsburg, St. Maarten
