Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

We only ate at the buffet and Guy’s Burger Joint and they were always great!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

I didn’t know the pools were all salt water pools. The back pool in the Tide bar area was always crowded. The Sky Zone was fun and scary at the same time. I’m afraid of heights but made myself get on. Very fun! My niece won a medallion playing Yahtzee, she was excited! My sister and I went to a Halloween 90’s-2000’s show that was awesome! We enjoyed everything we experienced.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The only complaint about the cabin is the balcony door was squeaky when you opened and closed it. Other than that everything else was clean.

Ship tip

Prepare for tons of fun!!

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5

This port was great because it’s right on the beach! We did the Rainbow Calypso tours excursion booked through Carnival and it was great! No walking just riding around sight-seeing.

La Romana, Dominican Republic

This port is just for shopping only! If you want to see the island you have to buy an excursion or get a taxi.

Willemstad, Curacao

5 out of 5

This was my favorite port!! There’s places to shop and eat on the port but keep walking and you find the floating bridge. At night it is so beautiful lit up. The colorful buildings are amazing as well. You will love this port!

There was so much traffic in Aruba. We got a taxi to go to the Aloe Factory and they drive like maniacs lol.
