Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Main dining room awesome. Loved the wait staff entertaining no issues here but specialty restaurants like guys pig & ? Only open 2 days & closed early on both days !

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Long wait to do any activity on ship couldn't get near the pools lady's laying on shelf in pools & never moved for others to enjoy. Also too much smoking in no smoking zones !

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Loved the shows all of them wonderful

Children's Programs

Our 3 small ones were never approached about going & we couldn't get them to go .if leaders would make friends with kids & encourage them to go maybe

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Tatang was our room steward he was awesome very accommodating kids loved all the towel animals the morning all the towel animals & people were around the pool they were so amazed

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Extremely clean my husband constantly complimented the workers. Wished the dining room was not in the back of ship little more movement back there

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Size was perfect enough storage balcony was opened up for us & made it seem lots bigger

Ship tip

Use the daily schedule to plan each day to do the most & talk with someone that has been on the excursions the brochure description are not completely accurate ask questions & press for answers

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida Did not visit port

Nassau, Bahamas

2 out of 5
Went to Atlantis too much walking I realize they want to show u the things that make them money but our group didn't know so much walking & that was not clear from the description

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

2 out of 5
Lot of shops closed coupon books had lots of coupons to shops no longer open paid for books & couldn't use them thought next port

Grand Turk Island

2 out of 5
Same as above very dissatisfied that shops we had coupons to are closed. I have told several friends that are cruising to not purchase the books until they make sure shops they want to visit are still there

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Except for people not going when they were called i.e. People taking their own luggage off didn't get off to start with they waited & clogged everything up and people were being ran into with luggage

Yes. That is a late suppertime for young ones. Good thing there are other 'snack' food avenues if you needed.
