My five girlfriends and I had an amazing five day cruise. There is not one thing that I would change about it. Our state room fit my sister and I perfectly, even with all of the clothes we brought that we didn’t need. The food was very good. The service was top-notch. I enjoyed our ports. The shows and entertainment were a lot of fun also. I loved Grease. The game show, The Quest, is always memorable. The pool activities were either really fun to participate or watch. We try to take advantage of everything the cruise had to offer. Would definitely recommend this cruise ship and itinerary.

Our cabin’s size was perfect for my sister and I. We traveled with 6 others, and was able to open up the dividers on the balcony...so fun to be together out there!
Ship tip
Enjoy every minute on this beautiful ship. I loved my balcony looking out to the ocean. Definitely worth the extra dollars.
We fly in the day before the cruise. We stayed at the Embassy Suites. Nice hotel near the airport, port and water taxi. We took water taxi down to Las Olas Blvd. So fun seeing all of the big houses and boats on the canal. Enjoyed our dinner at Louie Bossi’s.
This was my first time at Labadee, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We hung out at Columbus Cove. Nice calm waters, beautiful beach and view of Haiti and our ship. The cove was a little busy with small kids, but not too crazy. Lunch was served just behind us.
