Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The food was excellent as always and I enjoyed the lobster night and filet mignon night

Seafood Shack

5 out of 5

The food here is not free but was very reasonably priced for the quality. They took the time to properly prepare all the seafood which was fresh and delicious. This is one of the food areas we are looking forward to on our next cruise. My suggestion is the peel and eat shrimp and the Crab cake sliders.

Ship tip

Take the behind the scenes tour it’s well worth it. You can only sign up for it once you were on board so do it early before all the spots are taken

Grand Cayman is a wonderful stop. The people are friendly and not pushy.

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

Dunn River Falls is a must. I had a great time climbing it. The only drawback is that Jamaica tends to be very overt about wanting to separate you from your money.
