Review summary

Great ship with great ports on this itinerary. We enjoyed snorkeling at Half Moon Cay. We saw sea turtles and a ton of fish. We ate at Jack’s Shack in Grand Turk. Jerk chicken was amazing as always. We hung out at the pool in Amber Cove. Entertainment was severely lacking on this cruise. There was only one playlist production show. America Rocks. Cast was new. Show was not up to standards. Bands were just okay. Soloist Scott Lucile was the only bright spot. The BINGO caller was extremely annoying. Food was excellent everywhere we ate. Most dinners we ate in the MDR. We did not do any specialty dining. Best debarkation ever. We were off the ship and in our Uber at 0645. We got an earlier flight that took off at 0915.

A lot of banging and noise in this cabin on this trip. The most we’ve experienced in a cove balcony. Otherwise, nice.

Ship tip

Don’t forget to enjoy the Serenity area.
