Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
I found that there was Definitely something to do for everyone. There was everything from pools, games like goose all, ping pong, pool. And there was also “activities” I guess you would say like art auctions, bingo, etc. there were SO MANY THINGS to do onboard. You would never ever get bored on the ship!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We went to a few shows night time and the performers were just incredible! Between the acting and the Dancing and costume changes in literally five seconds! It was unbelievable!!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The service was amazing. Waiters in the main dining room were very kind and great servers, cleaning/housekeeping staff were incredible!!! The ship was ALWAYA so clean and I appreciate that so much!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The chips design was ok. It was sometimes confusing if we wanted to go to the dining room you would have to go up a floor then down again to get to it but other than that it was fairly good. The cleanliness of the ship was immaculate!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The cabin was actually great! There were four of us that went and there was tons of space for us to unpack our suit cases in closets and drawers. The balcony was really nice! Would definitely recommend!!! The cabin was always very clean by our sturdiest and I appreciated that so much!

Ship tip

Be prepared to eat!! There is so much food on the ship and so many options!

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

We went to the pleasure peer and it was really fun!

Montego Bay, Jamaica

3 out of 5
Did the hop on hop off bus tour and that was great and Jamaica was beautiful. Just people there were always asking us if we wanted to buy weed off them. It was almost disturbing how many people offered it and were pushy with it. Also we went to a craft market and everyone there in their own little shops were extremely pushy!!! It was very uncomfortable so we tried to get out of there as soon as possible but they all wanted you to look at their stuff... but Jamaica itself was beautiful. The beach was really nice but you had to pay an arm and a leg to get a couple chairs and an umbrella. Then the person who brings your chairs for you expects a tip after we’ve just payed $60 for some chairs and umbrellas.

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
I really loved this port. There was t much to do around the port so we took the city bus to a turtle farm. And it was really nice and easy to get to. Also it wasn’t expensive to get into the turtle farm. It was reasonably priced. I believe it may have been like $18 a person to walk around and look at all the turtles and you could pick the little ones up and get in the water with them. It was really fun!

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
At this port there was SO MUCH! To do around the port. They basically dropped you off inside an outdoor shopping center! People were pushy there by wanting you to come into their store and look around but it wasn’t overwhelming. We went outside the port and took a horse and buggy ride around the town. It was $25 a person and they let you stop at various different places. A jewelry place, old church, stopped to see some dolphins, etc. very nice ride and the horse did such a good job!

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
It took a while! But once you got downstairs when they called your deck it was fairly easy and fast to get off the ship.
