Review summary

This was our 30th Anniversary Cruise that almost didn't happen due to covid, (it started out as an Alaska Cruise) but eventually things got better and the trip was on. We went First Class and reserved the Owners Suite. We had a great time, enjoyed all the ports of call.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

The ship is fairly well laid out. The crew did the best they could with 3000+ people constantly making a mess.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Enjoyed the Owners Suite and the level of service that came with it. The suite is quite large, clean and comfortable.

Ports of call

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5

Coco Cay was very pleasant. I would say unless you're a kid, the water park is a little overpriced. The island has enough nice spots. save your money.

Falmouth, Jamaica

4 out of 5

Overall had a good time, was a little disappointed in the Dunns River Falls trip. A long day for such a short climb (45 min) up the river.

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5

This was our favorite part of the trip. The beach is beautiful and had a great time. Wanted to try something different, so chose the Sip and Paint excursion. Don't pass it up, we had a great time sipping rum and painting ceramics.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5

It was a bit of a CF. Suite owners were supposed to disembark first and we had a tight schedule to the airport. It was rather unorganized and it seemed like no one payed attention to the order of disembarkation. Ended up having to be rude and cut in line.
