Quick and organized

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food was great! Although buffet was the same every day. Would have liked to see more variety.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Space pad, mini golf, skating, flow rider, pool and water slide. Never got bored in this ship and not a line for any of the activities.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Head liner shows were great. Grease was our family favorite. Comedian and game shows were great. Would have enjoyed dualing pianos or more comedian shows. There was only one activity per evening and after that it got a little boring

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Service was absolutely amazing. For the long hours they all work we were always greeted with smiles and happiness.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Restrooms were always clean. Our room and pool area were clean. We also noticed the pool attendants removed towels after a period of time for those saving chairs. We appreciated this as we were actually able to find chairs on this ship!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
King bed. Lots of storage. Bathroom and shower a tad small

Went to jewel runaway beach resort for the day in ocho Rios. Food was bland and cold. Glad to get back on the ship to eat!!! But we had a great time on the beach, lazy river and the swim up bar !

Disembarkation

Little unorganized. We had our luggage but to disembark we had to go through the area where people picked up their luggage.
