5 out of 5
Great!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The food was decent… the dining room experience was superb and the servers (specifically Gerry, Raymond, and Audriano) made it awesome for us!

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
They were so-so. Pools we’re so crowded and the ship’s amenities felt outdated.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Fantastic- especially the comedians (Julie Scoggins was the best)!

Children's Programs

My kids weren’t interested.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Some of the bartenders were a little rude at times, but their jobs are tough and demanding, so I get it. Our room steward, Made, was incredible and soooo friendly. We loved him!

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Outdated, but very well kept.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was perfect for us!

Ship tip

Pick a newer ship!

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

4 out of 5
Having to tender to port was tedious. I will not pick another trip with this particular port.

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

4 out of 5
I wish there was a better beach here.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
I was glad our early disembarking was accommodated
