Review summary

Overall great cruise. We love cruising and always have new experiences and memories.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
This was the first time we were in a jr. suite so we received expedited embarkation.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Food got a little monotonous after a couple of days. Same thing over and over. Was really surprised at the limited number of options for free food on this cruise. Only 3 venues. Unlike the allure which had many options for cruise included food.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Really disappointing after being on an oasis class ship. Level of entertainment was lacking. Not much to do during the afternoons.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
As stated. Entertainers were high school level. Comedian was hit and miss. First cruise where there was only one comedian. Usually 2

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Staff was amazing. Happy and helpful. Room steward kept room spotless and really enjoyed the cruise director Aysy. She kept things moving and was always visible.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Layout was awkward. Some decks didn’t go from front to back of ship so had to switch decks. Also the serenity area was near the middle of the ship so you had to walk through it to get anywhere. Usually it is secluded. Also smoking area was entire length of the pool deck. So smoke was heavy in the pool area. Who came up with that?

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Awesome. Sooo much room and the balcony was large. Loved our room with the walk in closet and bathtub

Ports of call

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

2 out of 5
Been here before and enjoyed it but this time way tooooo hot and humid. So hot we saw people passing out. We’re not able to stay on the island too long had to return to ship.

Falmouth, Jamaica

5 out of 5
Liked Falmouth more than ocho rios. Did river raft tour and loved it!!!

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5
We snorkeled here for our second time ever. There was lots of fish to see. Must go to the middle of chill island in between the rock walls

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very easy
