Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Our dinner dining staff, Delfin and Ardi were Exceptiona! and always had smiles on their faces even when the kids were misbehaving. They couldn't have done a better job. The food was very good too and plentiful. The variety of food in the windjammer was unbelievable and fresh. I felt guilty about the waste and how many hungry people it could feed though. The drink prices were excessive.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Pools. Visited the casino, but it was too smokey. There should be a designated smoking area or no smoking allowed.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The bands were excellent! The DJs played good music. All the shows we saw were excellent as well, Grease, Journey tribute band and the ice skating show .

Our waiters were wonderful!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everything was clean. The only thing i did not like was the smoking area.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The size was small, but understandable. The bed was comfortable. My one complaint is that in order to flush the toilets, you had to lift the seat which was not very sanitary.

Ship tip

Sit back and enjoy!

Ports of call

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

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5
The water was beautiful. The shopping by the locals was a bit extreme. The shop owners were too pushy. I stood my ground though and did not spend too much to their obvious dismay.

Falmouth, Jamaica
