Review summary

Very relaxing Caribbean cruise! Great fun and friendly staff!! If you are traveling without children, we highly recommend the rear aft balcony rooms!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation was very expeditious at the departing port.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The dining experience was probably the best service that we have ever received!! Our TEAM was fantastic!! Yonathon,Untat, and Reymark Tabaldo gave the best service, and always with a smile. Not just at dinner, but also at Breakfast!! Was just like family!!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The Piano bar was a hoot!! We also enjoyed the "Drive-in" on 3 nights and the IMAX on the other 2 nights. We also enjoyed the trivia games. We really enjoyed the deck at the Havana bar as well.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The piano bar was great! We didn't see any stage shows, although I'm sure they were amazing.

Children's Programs

Our youngest "child" is 25

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
See above comment for the dining staff. Pierre our room steward and his staff were great as well! They were diligently working ALL the time. We loved that our room was always welcoming and fresh whenever we got back from the pool, movie or shore excursions.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The common areas were clean and well maintained. The bathrooms were impeccable!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
See above for Service & Staff. The room size was perfect, and had plenty of room for all of our clothing and luggage. The deck and view were amazing. (We did not like that the people in the adjoining rooms were not mindful of the doors SLAMMING when they would go in and out.) But that had nothing to do with the staff, and we did not complain.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

4 out of 5
Very busy but also very efficient process.

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

4 out of 5
It was very busy, but had a huge variety of shops within walking distance of the port. The beach access at Margheritaville was packed!!

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
We did the Island tour and our driver Gordan was funny and entertaining. We had a great group of people on the bus as well.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
We had an amazing time at our all inclusive at Playa Mia. The beach was beautiful. And even though there were so many people on the beach, there was plenty of room and the atmosphere was relaxing. The food and drink were good as well. We also enjoyed the shops there.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We attended the disembarkation, because the last time we cruised they didn't do it this way. It was a good experience. I really like the idea of checking you bags instead of taking them with you until you number was called. Nothing to worry about or drag around with you.
