Review summary

It was my first cruise. Enjoyed it a lot. Would love to repeat.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
A bit exhausting and long wait for wheelchair assistance. As it was our first time experience, we were a bit lost. However, very glad for clear crew directions that helped us a lot to navigate the embarkation.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food was fresh, very healthy, with great selection. I liked that a lot of sweets and drinks had moderate sugar. This made me feel good as I am watching my sugar intake. My kids had their pizzas and endless ice scream. So, it was like a haven feast for whole our family.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
My grandson tried most of the activities. There was something for each family member interests. Enjoyed them a lot.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
Miami is great.

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5
Beautiful island. Nice things on market bring some cash with you and get ready to be warmly greeted by islanders. The ocean is amazing. A lot off beach beds under the shade. However, don't forget sunscreen. My grandson tried rollercoaster and had a blast. We didn't try anything else. Food was great.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easy and quick.
