Review summary

The Cruise Director is magnificent, very friendly, determined to make it a fun cruise for everyone. He does his job well. The dining room experience was wonderful. wanted to experience the Jacuzzi but too crowed all the time. Ship could use more activities during the day. Overall, my cruise experience was good.

Ship tip

You're not asked to dress up each night. Only one elegant night, unfortunately. Just pack lots of casual clothes. I prefer the dress-up for the Dining Room. The dining room is so elegant.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida Did not visit port

Boarded the ship there.

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

Marq was the CD on the cruise I on and I noticed that this guy seemed to show up anywhere. Lots of energy.

I never did either until this one. The guy made everything more fun. Just great at his job.

I really don't worry about who the Cruise Director is for the cruise I'm on.
