It was fun but overall I would not do it again. Too rushed, too many lines, not enough amenities for all the people onboard. Not relaxing enough. Next time I'll fly somewhere and do things on my own schedule instead of someone else's. This is my 4th cruise but other ships were smaller. Making them too big

Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Our room steward on deck 10 was Clemente. He was awesome and pleasant. Kept room clean. Knew we wanted ice and we always came back to a full ice bucket.
Ship Quality
3 out of 5
Ship was very clean but I didn't like the layout of this ship. Heard several veteran cruisers say they didn't like this ship as well. Some of our party was always getting lost
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
King bed and it was very comfortable. Couch. Plenty of closet spaces. Balcony was little in small size compared to others I've been on.
Ship tip
Expect lines and waits. The ships are getting too big to be able to wait and use amenities of the ship.i didn't do any excursion here. Super shuttle to port was great. However on return was awful. Over an hour and no dhuttle with my reservation. Finally a driver in another super shuttle took us on when they other party agreed.
Loved Jamaica except for the hawkers trying to sell. We did Bobsled, Dunn River Falls excursion which includdd the Sky Explorer. We just got rushed so couldn't take our time.
We did swim with stingray. It was a great experience and water was beautiful and felt great. However spent more time on boat ride out and back than in water. We got half hour for all of us and again was hurried. We also did turtles which was okay.
We did the dolphin experience where we got to get in water with them. Best of all to me. I love dolphins. Lunch buffet included but food was very bland. Then beach time but again hurried.
Even though they call by deck or zones, you end up in a long line at the building. Customs was fast.
Used super shuttle to and from airport. To the port was great. But waited over an hour to get to airport and still no shuttle for us. Finally another super shuttle driver was picking up a party and they agreed we could ride with them. Thank goodness we were baking in the hot sun over an hour and I was feeling sick.
