Review summary

I had a great time with my two kids on this cruise. Everyone had the opportunity to explore and do lots of things both together and separately.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
It was fine; hot with long lines, but worth the wait!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
There was plenty of delicious food all of the time. The only complaint would be that with 4500 people on board, there were often long wait times for specialty places such as the Mongolian Grill, Guy's Burgers, and the morning brunch.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Lots of choices!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
So many talented people all board! Loved KG at the piano bar and the group Lady and the Vamps! The electric violins playing the Devil Went Down to Georgia was pretty awesome, too!

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
My 13 year old had the time of her life! Thanks so much to Angel! She's the best!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Ade the steward, Echte (?) the server, Angel in Circle C, Jonathan from trivia and lots of other things were all extraordinary!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
I thought I was going ot feel claustrophobic, but the cabin was the perfect size for two people.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

2 out of 5
Hot, sweaty and expensive - do not recommend.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

4 out of 5
It was really cool, but you didn't feel like you were visiting a new country because it was just a tourist trap...and that's fine - we were tourists!

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
BEST BEST BEST - actually ventured into Puerta Plata and went to Damajagua falls. Amazing experience! This was the only place we really felt like we got a taste of the people and country.

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
Had a blast kissing a sting ray!

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
It was fine - there was some confusion because they said we should leave the room by 8:30 but then were told to get out well before then. No real stress or issues though.
