Review summary

We had a fantastic cruise. The weather was hot but mild. We barely felt the ship moving the water was very calm. The staff and crew were so friendly and tried very hard to make this a great vacation. There was always a lounge chair available on deck 5, it was so relaxing watching the water. I loved singing karaoke, made some new friends and had some great drinks.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We used Goport to arrive at the port. We arrived early before our check in time, we arrived at 10:30. And embarkation was super fast and easy. We had a 12 PM check-in time and we were on the ship by 11:30 AM.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Everything we ate on the ship was amazing. Guys Pig and anchor barbecue, The mac & cheese and the pork butt was delicious. Sea day brunch steak and eggs and the 12 hour French toast was amazing. We also ate at La Cucina and the steakhouse. The service and food were great. the food in the MDR was delicious and our wait staff was so amazing. The food on the buffet was really good, Mongolian wok was delicious blue iguana, and guys burgers were also very good. I loved the lobster rolls at the seafood shack. If I had to pick a favorite it would be La Cucina.

The Love and Marriage show was hilarious. The cruise director Joey is funny and full of energy. The DJs were on point all the music had you up on your feet. America Rocks was great, all the singers are very talented. The deck parties were so much fun.

The staff was amazing. Our cabin steward was so attentive and always kept our room clean. The bar staff new us by name and remembered our drink orders and made great suggestions to try something new. The wait staff in the MDR, La Cucina and the Steakhouse were amazing.

Ship Quality

I always saw someone cleaning. They were everywhere. Even when we were at port they were painting the outside of the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The cabin was quiet and cozy. I usually don’t like an inside cabin but this was so comfortable, we slept so good. The location was great for us. It was easy to get to the casino, Red Frog Rum Pub and Ocean Plaza on deck 5.

Ship tip

Relax and have fun. Join in as much as possible. If you want to try the Steakhouse make your reservation as soon as possible. Go to La Cucina for dinner. And please be kind to other passengers, staff and crew.

Disembarkation

Getting off the ship was quick and easy. We didn’t carry our luggage off. We took our time, ate breakfast and walked down when our number was called. No problems at all.
