There were 3 of us and the cabin was okay in size. Stateroom attendant was friendly and kept our room clean.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida Did not visit port

Was only there to get on and off the ship. No time to see anything.

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
Taxi driver took us to Atlantis and also the Bahamas Rum Cake Factory. Friendly driver and he gave us history of area.

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5
Labadee is beautiful!! We rented a bungalow in Columbus Cove and our attendant was friendly and always close by to serve us drinks and get a ride to coaster and back to ship for us. Bbq lunch was good. Anxious to return to Labadee.

Falmouth, Jamaica

5 out of 5
Port area itself is very nice with shops, restaurants and entertaining dancers. We did an all day excursion to Dunns River Falls which is a something everyone should at least see even if you don't climb it. Then was taken to White River for tubing. Was so much fun! Lastly we were taken to Shaw Park Hotel for a buffet lunch on their patio on the water. Jamaica is a beautiful country.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
No problems disembarking. Well organized and only a short wait at customs.
