Review summary

To be honest not as great as my last cruise 3 years ago. Not enough time in Nassau or Fallmouth. I don't know why the Captain cut it short without explanation. The ship has lots of things to do though. The shows were good.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Very easy and not stressful at all. Print out your paperwork. It makes the process much sooner

I loved the hot tub and the pools. The waiters were always doing rounds. Ice skating was cool too.

Entertainment

Arcade

Small with only a few games. The last ship I was on was smaller but the arcade had more video games in it.

It was smaller then I expected. But didn't really spend a lot of time there.

Ship tip

Make sure you reserve all the shows you can as soon as you get on board the ship. You can always cancel them.

Ports of call

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

This was like coco cay without much to do. BBQ was alright though. Vendors were more pushy at this place. Make sure to bring cash as sometimes the credit card doesn't work. Honestly if they don't build this port up, they should get rid of it and find another island.

Not great. The ship decided to leave at 4pm, so I felt a little jipped by that. We went to the Dolphin encounter. It started at 1230pm. Everything was cut short due to that. We got back to the ship by 3:45pm! This excursion was by Royal Caribbean, but it seemed as though there was a lack of communication between the ship and the excursion company. The best I could rate this was average.
