Review summary

Emma was a wonderful cruise director. She was always smiling and knew how to engage families to participate on the cruise. I would make only one recommendation is to have cups with lids for small child age 2.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The service in the sunrise restaurant was excellent. Christopher was an outstanding waiter he always did everything in a timely manner and anything we asked for he was able to accommodate. My son was only 2 and from getting him a high chair to a plastic cup just the little things made a difference. I also enjoyed the show time shows in the dining room.

Onboard Activities

Emma, was an awesome cruise director. I feel she made our trip more special from all the little details from sending a batch of cookies to our state room and giving little trophies to my son and daughter. My daughter got to participate in Lip Sync Battle and my son got to build a bear and have a Dr. Suess parade and breakfast are just a few things to mention. My family loved all of the shows in the Liquid Lounge. My husband enjoyed playing BINGO and JJ made it fun. There was something for everyone to do and this was by far one of the best cruises I have been on.

Entertainment

Camp O2 my son only participated a few times but when he did he loved it. He also loved the life size Mr. Potato Head, The little play ground area was also a nice touch for the younger kid.

Ship tip

Go on the Dolphin Excursion in Nassau Bahamas at the Blue Lagoon Island. In Grand Turks do not pay for a beach chair on the beach. Bring cash off the boat some of the market vendors only take cash not credit.

Ports of call

Grand Turk Island

4 out of 5
I enjoyed the beach and shore excursion. My only feedback would be that their are locals trying to rent beach chairs for $40.00 and I know that they were free but I saw other cruisers paying money for chairs.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5
The private island was beautiful and the whole family loved it. I also enjoyed the barbque lunch.

Nassau, Bahamas

Blue Lagoon we did a dolphin excursion it was a once in a lifetime experience the whole family loved. We were able to enjoy their private beach. We even had enough time to go shopping.

Disembarkation
