Review summary

This was the largest Ship my family has been on so far. It was very easy for me to navigate around the Ship. All I needed to know was where the following was located: muster station, gym, camp ocean, pools and dining room. Once I located those I figured out where everything else was. Food was great in the MDR. We didn't do the buffet at all. We did seated breakfast in the dining room. Lunch we tried the BBQ place once everything was good except the collards.

This Ship was packed full of people but never felt crowded except if you choose to take the elevators during peak times I.e. Dinner time.

My son (4) wife and I had a great time. You may see we missed a port but it was do to weather and safety concerns. It rained the last 2 days on the ship but we didn't mind at all we just dropped my son off at camp ocean and enjoyed the spa and whatever else the ship had to offer.

A vacation is what you make of it. I have no complaints on any cruise I ever have been on.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Ny Strip was perfect no seasoning needed. Buffet we never went to. A burger is a burger. BBQ was good.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
A lot to do on board so plan something for the day and if you don't like it you can walk out and move to the next one.

Entertainment

The brass band and six appeal is a must see.

Before you go to the port and park stay on A1A into Coco Beach and see the sights. They have a Starbucks just in case you need a pick me up.

Cozumel, Mexico

Dolphins and Sea Lions. Great place to snorkel

Belize City, Belize

Port is just like any other. We didn't do anything outside the port due to it taking 2 hours to get to anything. As a result we had random bout tendering people directly back the ship because it was running late.

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

Tabyana Beach
