Review summary

I really enjoyed this cruise. They had all the accommodations needed to keep you busy, fed, relaxed or entertained. I just wish we had longer time in Jamaica. I wore a mask but at the same time I didn't feel a threat of being infected on the ship.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Everything went smoothly. There was a little confusion but that was because some people started following a group triggering others to follow.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The first day all good but the next day the salmon and grill chicken made me sick. Afterwards all in main dining was okay. Lobster night was excellent. I would never go back to the specialty restaurant. $300 spent and the food wasn't good. We went there to celebrate a birthday.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
I enjoyed the shows, games,comedian and music. My son loved the basketball tournaments and the other one the fitness center.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The caribbean music was great and the comedian was funny. The ice skaters were very good.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
My room steward Danny was great and very professional. My waiters changed daily so some good, some okay. Activities staffs were great.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship was very clean for its age. Also there was cleaning of railings, elevator and other areas all the time for safety during these Covid times.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Nice location and beds were super comfortable but a little tight moving around them. Inside view of main active floor. Nice and clean and located near elevator and inside balcony.

Ship tip

Very comfortable environment. Plenty area to relax and get some sun. All day all night pizza. Casino games fun and not too much smoke. Activities directors very funny guests participating games.

Great time here. Had a driver name Marvin that took us to a great breakfast place, stores and sight seeing. No time for excursions. I have to come back.

So glad to see your review. We’re going on this ship at the end of July and have seen so many bad reviews.
