I had a great time, and although I am now suffering with covid, I would still do it again!! Great mother/daughter trip for us, and enjoyed my friends family as well. Loved this vacation!!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
I have experienced better food pre pandemic, but it was great to not have to cook and clean myself, and I certainly ate plenty!!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Fine line - excellent!, ice show - good, pools and hot tubs - decent (wish guests didn't save seats they never used), Abyss - unique/fun. Climbing for kids on Boardwalk - big hit for kids in our group. Carousel - fun for kids in our group. Family karaoke was fun.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Fine line -awesome show!! Ice skating - good show. Our group loved Luca at Boots and Bonnets. Enjoyed live music un Dazzles, but no seating, so didn't stay for entire time.

Children's Programs

My 13 year old never wanted to participate in teen program. She is super shy.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Loved all the staff! A few bartenders were very good to us (Joel, Eka, and two at Sabor). Adi was awesome as our steward. Our waiter was a little hard to understand due to thick accent, and Assistant waiter Kahr was very friendly, sometimes to a fault, yet most nights we were the only guests in their section.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everything seemed well taken care of and clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Nice layout, plenty of space, and able to open our divider on the balcony to join our other party in the next room.

Ship tip

Try different venues and options each day! It is such a big ship with so many amenities, you will likely miss something complimentary!!

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

San Juan, Puerto Rico

Our excursion was canceled, so we walked around. It was neat, yet I am better with some guidance.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

Did the Xmas cove snorkel and sea turtles. It was awesome, amazing, fun! I would recommend it highly! Enjoyed the rum punch for sure 😉

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic Did not visit port

The ship was unable to make this stop due to weather.

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
Beautiful views from the ship. I have been here before, and daughter wanted to enjoy the ship while it was fairly empty. It was lovely!

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Easy. However our group had two of our bags misplaced with other groups, yet we did find them. Getting a taxi or Uber was a little challenging due to poor coordination and cell service.
