Review summary

The ports were good.  I chose this cruise due to its itinerary and being a new ship.

 

I also liked the sky areas aboard the ship (Sky Ride, Sky Fitness), and outdoor movies.

 

it was nice to have the IMAX theater (although didn't don't use).

the water park was nice, serenity area a good getaway from kids.

good comedy shows.

 

the food was very sub-par, especially breakfast.

specialty area foods was better (note:  I tried the seafood shack - 

lobster roll and it was pretty bad).

 

the selection of liquor was pretty sub-par; not well stocked on premium spirits-very sub par selection.

 

specialty coffee area was excellent with excellent service.

service otherwise so so.

 

sleeping bedding was comfortable.

 

tour selection was poor.

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5
I was never told this was a "Cove" cabin, and in Deck 2. I paid very good money for balcony (I paid over $3k for my teenage son and I). We are repeat guests (gold members) and Florida residents. Shocked to have been assigned to this cabin at this price. NEVER AGAIN.

Grand Turk Island

This was my 3rd time in T&C. I will always love it as it's very beautiful, but I had never been to this side of the island. Charming, but surprised that the beaches lacked the starfish so popular of the island.

San Juan, Puerto Rico
