Embarkation

Very organized...

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Food is good and most of it is free. Food you pay for it reasonably priced. There should be better drink packages. The ship shouldn't Force everybody in a cabin to get it drink package if they do not drink. We wanted to get alcohol package for a few people and other people did not want it because they don't drink alcohol so we had to pay for on alcohol instead of getting a package deal like we should have been allowed to. They judge Alcoholics, non-alcoholics and recovering alcoholics by punishing the alcohol drinkers by making non-alcoholic drinkers in the the room get alcohol passes even though they don't drink that's discrimination.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Lack of activities because of some of the equipment on the ship being broke.....

Entertainment

Activities director was awesome. Something's could have been planned better.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
Didn't have any kids on the trip. The ship seemed to keep all the kids busy.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
One of our waitress named Jason was awesome. Some of the waiters didn't know what things were on the menu. Our room Stewart was awesome. Part of the ship's personnel was inconsiderate to people.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
They tried to keep things clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Comfort wasn't that great. (Needs better beds) Size of the room was okay. The cabin was kept nice and clean.

Ship tip

Do your own research figure out things before you do them.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

3 out of 5
Very organized.

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

2 out of 5
The Falls were really awesome. The water tubing sucks because the workers scammed a lot of people out of money especially in our group. The driver for the Excursion that we went on was really awesome and helpful.

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
So much fun a lot of things to do awesome time. There's different things for different types of people to do there it just matters what you are into doing or like to do.

Cozumel, Mexico

2 out of 5
Nothing too exciting. Nothing bad either.

They do that so there’s no sharing of alcohol. I’m sure you can imagine some people would buy one package and share with another. So thank the dishonest ones who have ruined it for others I guess. I could be wrong, but I think it’s the same on most other cruise lines.

We have learned to get more then one room, if drinking, we call it the alcoholic room. The great debate is package or no package, if you drink, get the package, if you get off the boat and do excursions, in my opinion, you should not get the package, I love the idea of trying different drinks, which includes coffee and sodas, not worried about that Bill that comes on the last night.......
