Comedy and piano bar was great! The first stage show was not that great, many people left early.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The staff was AMAZING!!! Everyone we spoke with was friendly, eager to help and lots of fun. Arif (Rif) our room steward was GREAT! He went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. He greeted us every morning with a smile. Dickson and Akshay, our dining staff did an amazing job serving our large group of 16. They were on top of everything and did a great job!

Not a fan. The people were not very nice and it felt a little dirty. Towards the end of the night we didn't feel the safest so we headed back to the boat.

Grand Turk Island Did not visit port

Due to weather they couldn't port. After talking to people it sounds like an ongoing issue here. VERY disappointed.

Sorry you missed Grand Turk. I went last month and had a great time. Unlike my first visit, I walked around instead of just hanging out on the beach. I was bored my first go round. Hopefully you get a chance to go back😊

Great Caribbean Cruise

Excellent trip

Very disappointed that we didn't get to port at Grand Turk. I paid for 3 ports and only got 2. Would like to be compensated for the missed port. How about reimbursing my cheers package!
