Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

MDR service was very slow and took about 2 hours. We only ate here twice because of this. Food was lukewarm. Bartenders pour you 1.5 shots for the first 5 with the Cheers package then they switch to the 3/4 ounce size shot. We watched this happen every day at multiple bars.

We rented a pool cabana and it was fantastic! Drinks are about $8 each.

The Turtle Cove Snorkeling with open bar excursion was hands down the best thing we've ever done. The Captain along with Toni & James on The Castaway Cat made our day here perfect. Also take the skyride up to Paradise Point and have a Bushwacker!

We should have booked an excursion in an air conditioned vehicle instead of walking. It is really hot here!

Grand Turk Island Did not visit port

Grand Turk was canceled due to a marine search operation. We went to Nassau instead and loved it!
