Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We were in the Sunshine Dining Room. The food was excellent and the staff was just wonderful! We ate at the Italian Restaurant. Food and staff, again, wonderful

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
I went on the yellow slide, it was a blast! I wonder if you could make the spa a little cooler and the pool a little warmer! I was hardly able to put a foot in the pool and the hot tub was just too hot for both my husband and myself

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We went to one comedy show, very funny even if I can't remember his name. Tall, lanky guy from Texas. We saw the magic show, very good. We saw Epic Rock and were just as impressed as when we saw them on our first cruise two years ago.

Children's Programs

I went down one water slide but we did not return to the water park. We did not have any children with us so I was not really paying attention to the children's programs.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room steward was Anak. He was very attentive to our needs, he was pleasant and funny. We really liked him! Napath led the team in the dining room. She along with Edsyl and Pimjan were wonderful! It means something when after one dinner they remembered our names and drinks! The rest of the ships personnel were great!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I was impressed by the cleanliness of everything on the ship. The cleaning crew were always around keeping all areas of the ship shipshape!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cleanliness is my most important need. Anak kept our room spotless. I have no complaints there. The bed was very comfortable, the pillows equally comfortable. The size of the room is what one would expect for a regular cabin. Plenty of walk around room. We had an extended balcony. That was nice. Next time I will book the junior suite. We had that on our cruise aboard the Carnival Conquest.

Ship tip

On your "fun days at sea" plan to get up early to get a good lounge chair. Eat breakfast there, have a nap and enjoy a day in the sun!

Ports of call

Oranjestad, Aruba

5 out of 5
We went to the California Lighthouse and Seaworld Explorer. We enjoyed both.

Willemstad, Curacao

5 out of 5
We wen to the Cave of Hato. The bus then stopped at a very cool park with wonderful rock formations.

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
This was a beach day for me. There's a nice beach, all you have to do is walk off of the ship!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We carried our luggage off the ship. We were in our car within the hour.
