Review summary

We had so much fun on this cruise! Our family absolutely loved it. The only thing I didn’t like about Jamaica was if you didn’t go on the excursions, you had no access to the beach or anything, and it was the same shop over and over again.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food at the main dining room, cafe, and Windjammer were great. We absolutely LOVED our servers at dinner in the main dining room. What I didn’t like was how they constantly tried to upsell you during your meal to go to the specialty places. Personally, with how much they buckle and dime you on a cruise now, there shouldn’t be specialty places to eat at. What happened to all inclusive?!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We had so much fun doing the flow rider (we paid for the lessons), going to the pool, and going down the slides, but again, the arcade was incredibly expensive and most of the activities (Rock wall, boogie boarding, games, etc) were scheduled right before we were going to dinner in the formal dining room so we couldn’t attend.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The Las Vegas Tenors were amazing!!!! Ice skating show, phenomenal!!!! Art auction was FABULOUS and we took home some beautiful pieces!

Children's Programs

Service and Staff

Emarson, our room attendant was beyond amazing. Room was pristine and he had fun with the towel animals in the girls’ room. Dining room staff, we LOVED them. Art gallery people made us feel like we are family!

I agree that Jamaica is not our favorite port, either.
