Review summary

The top 2 of 7 cruises we been on and I highly recommend this ship for your next cruise.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
This was the fastest embarkation we have ever done. We arrived at 10:00 a.m. but our check-in time was 2:30 p.m. We were on board by 11:00 a.m.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food was very good.

Guy's Pig & Anchor Bar-B-Que

4 out of 5

They need to work on their recipes for their side dishes.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The activities were awesome

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The shows were well done, and the comedy was funny as all. The DJs were great. But the individual performers were excellent.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The room steward we had was the best, I wish I could spell his name cause he did his job with great care and attention to detail. The only negative thing I can say is I wish we could have kept the same wait staff in the anytime dining option. But the overall saff of the ship was nice, professional, and friendly to me and my family. They even called us family to them.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I liked the design and flow of the ship. It was easy to navigate.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We had an inside cabin. It was nice and clean.

Ship tip

Just enjoy yourself and let the good vibes take you away. And if you can't do that, then something is really wrong with you.

Ports of call

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
Loved the beaches and people.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
The scene was beautiful, but the salespeople were a little aggressive.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
Loved Old San Juan

Norfolk, Virginia

5 out of 5

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
The experience was perfection at its finest. We chose to have our luggage checked so we didn't have to carry them ourselves. They call us about 9:45 a.m. and we were off the ship and through customs in about 15 to 20 minutes.

Nice review. FYI....you can request to have the same staff at Anytime Dining. There just may be a little longer wait until there is availability in that section. Glad to hear you enjoyed your cruise.
