Review summary

Excellent cruise. Perfect length- 6 nights. Loved the ship and the ports. I highly recommend it.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We were on the ship 20 minutes from when we got in line. That includes stopping to get out pictures taken. Everything moved fast. Everyone was friendly.

Food was very good. Plenty to choose from on Lido. We also ate at Pig and Anchor, Guys Burger, Cucina del Capitano, Meridian MDR - your time dining. Good food, fast service, friendly servers

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
There were always numerous choices for activities. We went to the comedy club, listened to the Latin band at the Havana Bar, karaoke, many different trivia games. Love and Marriage show was hilarious. CD Cookie is one of the best CDs I've ever sailed with Main dance shows were excellent

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Service was top notch.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship was super clean. Showers had a lot of pressure. Layout very nice and decor very pretty. Serenity deck is out of the way and super quiet.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Cabin was clean and very roomy. We had one twin and the pull out sofa. My daughter complained that the sofa was too hard. My bed was amazing! Cabin has a plug and 2 USB ports for charging electronics. It has a big tv, frig, safe. Plenty of storage. On the last night, we could hear distant thumping from them bringing the suitcases downstairs for debark. It wasn't enough to wake us but if we were awake we heard it

Ship tip

Don't be intimidated by the elevators. Just push the deck you want and it will tell you what one to use

Ports of call

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

5 out of 5
This is our 4th time in Jamaica. It's a beautiful country but people are very poor. They will try very hard to sell you something. Just say no and keep walking if not interested. However, they do have some beautiful handmade items at very good prices. We booked an excursion with Lola Tours of Jamaica. We've used her a few times. This trip we went horseback riding in the ocean, toured the capital, went through Fern Gully (beautiful scenery and pictures), and finished with lunch and some beach time

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
I love Cozumel. So much to do. We had a mystic island excursion booked, but it was canceled, so we just hung at the port and shopped. So many stores. There are good deals there so shop around.

George Town, Grand Cayman

4 out of 5
We shopped at the port. There isn't much to do without getting transportation. We just wanted a quiet day. No excursions.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We had priority disembarkation. It was very organized. We gathered in the restaurant and lined our suitcases along the wall to keep our place in line. They served refreshments while we waited for the ok to disembark. Once started, we filed out in an orderly manner. Went right through customs. We didn't have to show credentials since they use facial recognition.
