Easy with Faster to the Fun

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Buffets were ok. Chef's table was awesome. Empanadas were one of our favorites but we only found them in the first day. We looked every other day.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Pools are very crowded. Serenity deck is nice for less crowded and no kid environment. Still hard to get a spot at times. Gym was awesome.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We enjoyed the comedy shows, karaoke and lip sync battle. Mike was an awesome entertainer and cruise director.

Children's Programs

4 out of 5
They looked awesome. We didn't have any kids on board with us but appeared to be plenty for them to do.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Great on board crew. Always accommodating and made our experience enjoyable.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship cleanliness is top notch. The cushions on the serenity deck are worn and should probably be replaced soon but cleanliness was awesome throughout the ship. The layout of the ship is confusing for a few days but the maps at every stairwell/elevator was very helpful.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our cabin was great. We loved the balcony and ocean view. It does feel a bit cramped after a few days on board with 2 people sharing the small bathroom and trying to get ready but manageable.

Ship tip

Take magnetic hooks for the cabin to hang items. We had some and they were used the entire time! Waterproof phone case and small fan for the cabin worked well also.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

4 out of 5
Miami is ok if you like the big city atmosphere. We did have awesome Cuban food while there from Casavana Homestead

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

5 out of 5
We had an excellent time in Ochoe Rios. I recommend doing the Dunn Falls excursion. We were able to sample Jamaican rum at one of the stops on the excursion and really enjoyed that. The restaurant as the last stop was perfect. Yardie Tours was great for our excursion.

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
Stingray city and starfish beach were an awesome experience.

Cozumel, Mexico

1 out of 5
Cozumel is so beautiful. The snorkeling and lunch on the beach were perfect with Sunset restuarant. Very walkable area and set up beautifully for tourists. Great shops along the shore with lots of duty free options.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Worth the Faster to the fun package to disembark early.

I rated everything with 4 or 5 stars. Not sure why it changed some of my ratings.

Glad you had such a great time! Can't wait to go to Stingray City in August myself. I am quiet confused as to your one star ratings but great comments, did you mean to put one star?

Why only a one star when you enjoyed things and had positive things to say?
