Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food was outstanding! I can't think of a single thing that wasn't great. The only negative thing was Serenity bar. The bartender was extremely slow and not friendly.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
I enjoyed the pools and waterslides. The hot tubs were always full, so I didn't use them.

Entertainment

I absolutely LOVE the Taj Mahal! The first time I stepped foot in there, I was just amazed. It is BEAUTIFUL! The stage shows were fun and upbeat.

Service and Staff

Edwin and his team were excellent! There was an issue with our TV on the first night. I called Edwin and the issue was fixed within 15 minutes! Our room was always clean and stocked. They addressed us by name every time. I am horrible with names, so that's impressive to me. Lol

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

We had an aft balcony. I will absolutely get another aft balcony cabin! The view from the balcony was awesome! Bed was very comfortable and room was always clean.

Ports of call

Baltimore, Maryland

Easy on and off the ship. Parking was a breeze.

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
Beautiful island! We rented a golf cart and explored the island. Do NOT rent from Karib. The golf cart had a rusted bolt, so when we hit a bump in the road, it came out and knocked the windshield out. Luckily we grabbed the windshield and took it back in one piece, but the lady was screaming at us that we broke her golf cart. The island is beautiful and I can't wait to go back! I just wish we had more time here.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5
Definitely the most BEAUTIFUL, PERFECT beach I've ever seen! The sand feels like powder it's so soft. The bluest water I've EVER SEEN! We did the horseback riding on land and sea. It was wonderful! Definitely highly recommend!

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

5 out of 5
This port has fun things to do right off the ship like shopping, eating, music playing. We were supposed to do a snorkeling and dolphin experience excursion, but the water was too rough to do the snorkeling part. We had the option to cancel and get our money back, or upgrade to the dolphin encounter for the same price. We opted for the dolphin encounter and it was great! I would recommend that if you are looking for an excursion here.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Only bad thing I can say is they need more signs and guidance for FTTF guests. We were standing in line and someone told us we could've by passed all the people in front of us and been off the ship already. Even standing in line, it really didn't take long.
