Review summary

Fabulous experience! Understand that if you don't like crowds or people a cruise is not for you! If you don't mind other people, you are guaranteed to have fun! The staff will make sure of that!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

No reason anyone should go hungry! There is something for everyone! Even my picky eater liked the food and tried new things!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
There is plenty to choose from! The water works was closed most of the cruise due to search conditions, but plenty other things for my 11 yr old to do. Lots for adults for all tastes.

Entertainment

Comedy, Rock shows were Excellent! We had a substitute cruise director Felippe and he was fabulous! I'd go on a cruise with him any time!

Although my daughter was enrolled in camp ocean she only went once. The staff were awesome. She quickly made friends doing other things. Movies at nite were fun!

Service and Staff

Everyone goes above and beyond! Our room steward Rory was the best! He made sure we had everything we needed! They work very hard to make your trip worth it.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Very easy to get around! Always clean! We had rough water going out and even with folks getting seasick they were right there assisting!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Plenty of room! I thought I'd miss my bed and pillows from home but I did sleep well. Cabin was cleaned daily very well! Daughters enjoyed the towel animals!

Ship tip

We had to divert and rescue a vessel which delayed us getting into Grand Turk by 5 hours. The captain explained why and staff did there best to rearrange shore excursions. Ours ended up being a private horseback riding and swim! Our driver Leon was the best and even gave us a private historical toyr while waiting for other passengers. We saw humpback Whales!! Even though time was shorter the excursion was worth it, the staff was fabulous despite the rudeness of some passengers. Pack your patience and understanding more with other passengers than with staff!

Disembarkation

You don't realize just how many are on the ship until you get off with 3000 other people! Be patient and listen to instructions! It was well worth getting a porter and
