Review summary

The cruise was so fun. The water was VERY rough so our entire cruise was a rocky ride...lots of sick passengers. We made the best of it. There are some things that could be better on this ship....but it's still so fun. It's all in what you make it!! The 4D theater....GREAT!! We loved it!! Sorry for the lack of pics...app wont let me add anymore :(

The dinning room was very hit or miss. Some food items were great and most were blah. Service was hit or miss as well. Jay the shot guy....crazy fun!!

Serenity

There are no where near enough chairs on this ship....and the amount of chair holding with towels, clothes, shoes, bags....its totally out of control. I was on the boat 9 days...got a chair ONCE!

Entertainment

Cabin / Stateroom

Typical balcony cabin...no complaints!

Ship tip

Be prepared for the horrible new elevators. At times you can wait 15 min for one to be available. Get to a lounge chair by the pool early or you will NEVER get one.

Ports of call

Willemstad, Curacao

5 out of 5
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL AND AMAZING!! Took a local tour $25 pp. We went everywhere and learned so much. Walking town by the Queens bridge is just beautiful. I would take a vacation here!

La Romana, Dominican Republic

1 out of 5
Incredibly dirty... garbage every where. Not very safe place either. Went on a cave tour...AMAZING! Personally..I'll never go back

Oranjestad, Aruba

5 out of 5
Another AMAZING port. We did the 4x4 natural pool/snorkel tour thru Carnival. The best money we spent...although we didnt get to swim or snorkel...the ride...the sights...everything it's a total blast!

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
Beautiful city....traffic is crazy!!

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
Beautiful!! Not a ton to do. Took a local run tour around the island...it was awesome!

Disembarkation

I agree, the two most disappointing things, no glass elevators and large atrium and dumb elevators.
