Review summary

We couldn’t have asked for a better cruise experience. From the embarking to disembarking, everything we did was simply amazing. The food was so delicious, especially for being a vegetarian family, we didn’t have worry about anything. The staff in windjammer and dinning halls were very accommodating to our dietary needs.

Entertainment

Very good! Unfortunately, we didn’t get to experience movie and top events due to kids napping and eating schedules. Wish they had it around 10am or 2pm

They absolutely loved every second of it

Service and Staff

Every single staff member was excellent and provided top notch service. As mentioned above, they were very attentive, accommodating, friendly, helpful, just genuinely nice. They always assisted with a great smile.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Very nicely maintained. It mind boggling to see how the staff kept it so clean with 5k people on the ship

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Very comfortable and good space for 4 of us. Loved all the drawers and shelf space it made it easier to organize everything and not clutter the room

Ship tip

Pack light, wear comfortable shoes.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
Port was very clean and well organized. Wish they had a better sitting accommodation outside for elders and kids

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5
It was a fun day. Kids had a great time. No excusions

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
No excursions. Everything was insanely expensive. Rented a buggy to ride around that’s about it

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very smooth. Loved the option of leaving the bags outside night before so we didn’t have to worry about lugging them around. Single point of exit can be improved to make the disembarkation easier and faster
