Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
Food quality has definitly gone down hill in the last couple of years. For some reason they are serving more meat than veggies, you would think veggies are cheaper. If it keeps like this we will be switching cruise lines.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
Entertainment is highschool show choir quality and not anything better. Then there is bingo and art auctions, gambling, deck parties.

Very clean and cleaning public areas all the time.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Our room was always clean and comfortable. Interior room was always dark enough to sleep lol. It does mess with your sleep cycle though.
Ship tip
Not to big of a ship where you will get lost, plenty of room to sunbath or another activity on deck.
This port is very disorganized and you get mobbed as soon as you step out of the gate with people peddling stuff. Remember don't let them put anything in your hand and don't tell them your names or they will start carving it into an item to sell you. You touch, you buy. It was so bad we turned around and waited on our excursion, lots of people did the same. There was no place to bypass them as things are so spread apart after that. Don't fall for the bug spray trick, we did not see any mosquitos on the ski lift or at the top. Infinity pool is a joke. People are not as friendly like in other ports. Off our bucket list.
We liked the island. The excursions are not organized at all. Our time was 8:45am and our tour did not start til 11:30 because they wanted every single person they could find for a tour. This happened at the destination also 45 min. bus ride and then we had to wait til more tours arrived. So we only had 1 1/2 hrs to see rest of port after they dropped us off. The caves were ok but not something I would go out of the way for. It was very hot in the caves, bats, people crowded.
