Bonsai Sushi

5 out of 5

Omgoodness didnt want to leave!Sat outside and had the sushi boat for two and drank a geisha. So delicious and well worth it! Perfect in every way.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Tides pool was Much more serene than serenity deck as people would scream on slides. Not a big deal. We enjoyed All the activities we went to. Set up in liquid lounge is a bit difficult to find a good viewing if not careful.

Beauty Salon

5 out of 5

They were great and not pushy and fast!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Wonderful live performances with real instruments. Loved them all. In liquid lounge sometimes volumes were too high so not always able to hear them clearly.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Family Harbor area was great but unfortunately the lounge is not open at 6am, the reason we booked it, so couldnt get my coffee early except thru room service. All in all a lovely experience.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Layout easy to navigate. Elevators are not a specialty of any cruise we have taken and we used the stairs ALOT. Which is good as we hardly gained any and ate so much!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Nice and clean and comfortable. Only issue we ran into is that the closet door opens right across from bathroom door so it was quite comical trying to get ready for dinner. We managed. The bathrobes were AMAZING. Unfortunately they didnt have a blue one for us to purchase☹. Best robes on ship are in family harbor!

Ship tip

Order peanut butter with your chocolate melting cake. Use heavy duty magnet hooks and hang your bathingsuit on the wall of your room and it dries faster than the bathroom. Or place things on hangers and hang in bathroom line and more can dry at same time.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
Easy parking, port was easy to navigate. Parkway parking we always use they are wonderful.

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
Our favorite port. Papa J sombrero ride was so much fun and you can find it right there on beach. No excursion necessary. But the zip line thru carnival is fun too.

La Romana, Dominican Republic

3 out of 5
Not a fan. Did dune buggy. It was ok but the scenery is depressing. Glad we experienced it though and appreciated the opportunity to meet these great people.

Willemstad, Curacao

4 out of 5
Expensive. Alot of shopping. We did a city tour for 15. Each and it was worth it. Again outside the port area is a little depressing.

Oranjestad, Aruba

4 out of 5
4x4 excursion allowed us to learn alot. Not enough time at the beach though.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Again Miami is so good and it was a breeze and fast!
