Review summary

I had a lot of fun. I'm sure I will do it again. There were a lot of unruly and unsupervised children. Maybe next time I will go on an adults only cruise.

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The meal experience is amazing! Tomas from the Philippines was the best EVER! I also loved Made and Imade! I wish I would have taken more pictures of their cards because the service was impeccable and they should be commended!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
The pools and hot tubs are usually packed. The same way with the area they play trivia in. It's hard to find a spot to sit and play.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The shows were great. I loved Carribean sounds by Romaine. That kid is talented. I also loved the rock show and the comedians!

Children's Programs

I didn't bring kids. They did a ton of kid stuff though.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Pande was amazing! He was very attenentive. He kept our room in great shape! I also loved Christine from the Philippines. She was also amazing and always so happy and friendly.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship was immaculate. Those people are the hardest workers I have ever met and are all very friendly. The ship is very large. It was hard to find my way around at first. We finely figured it out towards the end of the trip.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The cabin was adequate. It was very clean and well kept. Pande did a great job! He was very nice and remembered our names and greeted us by name every time he saw us. Our room was kept spotless all the time. He was awesome!

Ship tip

Bring some running shoes! There is a ton of walking to do!

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Loved It! We went to Chankanaab. It was amazing. Our tour guide was awesome! The port was great. They even brought us water on the way back in.

George Town, Grand Cayman

3 out of 5
I didn't like the water taxi. It wastes so much time. We went to the turtle excursion. It sucked. It was like snorkeling in a sess pool. It was not fun.

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

5 out of 5
Loved this place! The port was beautiful and easy to navigate. We did Mystic Mountain and it was a blast! I loved it. Bobsledding was so much fun and the ride up on the lift was beautiful!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
