Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

This is second time I was cruising same ship. We are (Group of 4) Indian vegetarian with two of them doesn't eat ONION and GARLIC. Raise our concern and they just adjusted their menus for us. On top of that daily they ask what you want to eat for next day. In short they accommodated our food preference at their best. It was not like that on my prior trip on 2018.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Need more Punchliner comedy show. It is nice if they broadcast movie (they do in open theatre) in rooms as well.

Children's Programs

I just travel without children.

Grand Turk Island

1 out of 5

Island itself is great. Following is the reason I rated only 1 star. I strongly prefer not to take ALL INCLUSIVE EXCURSION. We paid huge amount in return got very less. They claim all water sports is free . No it is not. You have to pay for KAYAK, BOAT RENTAL and other sports. Two Free Water Sports are not worth paying for. Staff at private resort was not great (Except One of the open bar). Supervisor is very rude. I asked question and he replied even without looking at me. We paid $170/- just for two water sport which were tied to shore. Water is dirty. Upon returning back we saw huge swimming pool on island where our ship boards and lots of fun. So don't buy ALL INCLUSIVE EXCURSION. Simply stay on island.
