Review summary

Overall we really enjoyed everything. Only felt any rocking on the last two sea days. Perfect day, skip water park. It’s ok but the beach and swim up pool bar are great. No need to spend extra ra money. Go to Aquatica instead when you return to Orlando.

Embarkation

It was easy. Get a card , they cal you. Plenty of people directing you where to go.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Our main dining room waiter was amazing. He made sure I had my gluten free bread and a cheese plate every night and gave us extra everything. We are all on a diet now. Lol. Also, main dining for lunch. You can get a salad that they will chop and toss for you. It was great. Windjammer gets busy but great selections there too and a small gluten free area.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
You cannot be bored on this ship. Pools get full and there are too many hot tubs but with mini golf, surfing, zip line and rock climbing there is so much to do. Only down side is they are only open a certain times and the rules. Bring sneakers that tie, shirts with sleeves, can’t be wet if your doing zip line, abyss, or rock climbing. Don’t forget socks!!

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Grease great. Fine line was good. The ice skating show was weird. There’s a great singer guitarist at the pub and the headliner show, Mo5ic was amazing. Wish I caught more shows and less time at casino.

Children's Programs

Teen room was ok. My daughter enjoyed hanging out with kids she met outside of the teen room activities.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Main dining room waiter was amazing. Wonderland service was amazing. Sadie at schooner bar was great. Try a sweet and spicy margarita from the Mexican restaurant. Those were so good!! Our room attendant didn’t make as many towel animals as I expected. We only got 2 on a 7 day cruise. Our towels were changed daily and beds made. Soap you only get one. Next time I will bring a pump hand soap. Definitely bring your own shampoo and conditioner and any lotion they don’t supply these.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
My husband thought the slanted trash cans by the elevator was ingenious. No one can leave a bunch of empty glasses.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
There was plenty of room for all our stuff. Brought 6 suitcases. They fit under the bed and in the closet with all our hanging stuff. Plenty of space for folded items and hair styling devices. 3 of us in this room. 2 adults and one teen.

Ship tip

Don’t forget to buy your pictures or any other items before getting back into US waters. They can’t sell anything when not in international water/ out side US. There was a family trying to buy photos when I picked mine up and that’s what I heard them being told.

Ports of call

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

We did the ultimate island tour. Mainly because I wanted us to go to the French side. There were 2 stops and taking pictures from the bus was blah. If I did it again, I would do a private taxi tour. Have actual stops and get great pictures. Costs more. Also the boat ride in the bay was fun but not what I expected. I thought the boat would take us back to port. Nope. Back in the bus. Just an hour ride around good music (DJ) and drinks. No yachts because they leave in the summer hurricane season months. Do an excursion but pass on this one.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

Did our own thing. I suggest scheduling an excursion. Only go into town if you want to buy jewelry. Personally, I like my US warranty on items and don’t get why jewelry is such a hot item.

Port Canaveral, Florida

2 out of 5
We live like 2 hours from port Canaveral. Didn’t do any excursions. We may do an RV trip there sometime when a spaceship is scheduled to take off.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
I took longer than it should. There were issues with a few passengers and with US customs. If you are flying out, don’t wait to leave, it maybe linger than expected.
