Review summary

I enjoy all of my cruises. The Miami port is always busy but because I got there so early (seventh in line) it wasn't bad. They let us in at 9:30 my check-in time was 10. Even though I did Verify they still asked for actual paperwork etc. The process moved quickly. Other than that everything was fun.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation was easy enough. We arrived a little early due to the hotel shuttle driver driving us like the ship was about to leave us. Had to stand in line until they start letting us in at 9:30. Have a print out of your boarding pass!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Did not visit the main dining room. The specialty restaurants were great as usual. The buffet was interesting but not bad. If you've cruised a lot over the years you will notice the cut backs. But you won't starve.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The Havana Cabana pool is to deep for my fiance so we went to the aft pool. Met some nice people there. No one was in the Havana Cabana pool area! I did the silent white party and loved it. The Serenity night party was real nice.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The Strings show in the Liquid lounge was beautiful. As for the DJ's, they both played different types of music so it depends on what you like. The magician in the dining room (brunch) was really good. The comedians.... mehhh. To some they were hilarious.

Children's Programs

I didn't bring a child.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
No complaints here. The service was great in every area. Everyone spoke and seemed happy.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
There was always someone cleaning, spraying your balcony area, painting and wiping something.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was one of the Havana Cabana rooms. The room was refreshing because it had the Cuban feel and colors. The outside area had the swing and I loved it. Fell asleep in it.

Ship tip

If you are not kid friendly do not cruise during spring break. There were a million kids on board and a lot of complaining. Kids don't bother me but from what I heard they were being very unruly.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
Checked into a hotel close to the airport and checked out the next morning.

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

5 out of 5
Always enjoy Jamaica. Did the rafting and stopped for jerk chicken. Walked back to the port.

George Town, Grand Cayman Did not visit port

Visited this port several times before. You can only go to Hell so many times.

Cozumel, Mexico

Mr Sanchos....need I say more?

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
As always it's a little hectic with people not following instructions. So it was as expected.
