This was my first cruise. We got a balcony room which we will do every time. We learned a lot about a cruise on this trip. I am definitely hooked on cruising. We took the Guacamole class on Saturday at Sabor's. We really enjoyed this class . W learned a lot and the food was awesome.

Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Our room steward was Jose. We loved him. Our room was well taken care of. If we had any questions, he pointed us in the right direction. We would love to have Jose take care of our room every time we cruise. Jose was very kind and considerate. Jose is a very hard worker.
Ship tip
Put all of your spending money on a Bank Travel card. Keep up with all of your receipts. Pay your gratuities up front, that's what we did. We paid everything we could as part of the cruise. So glad we did. All excursions were also prepaid. Bring plenty of spending money.
We did the Dolphin encounter with Mexican lunch buffet. The port was clean. We liked the signs pointing us to the direction we needed to be. We would visit this port again. We had a great time.
This was not our favorite port. We did do excursion at the Westin Inn Resort and Spa. The taxi ride there was good, very nice. When we got to the hotel, not good experience. The attendant Heidee was very rude and could careless to help us. In fact, by her jester, she let us know she did not want to wait on us. Heidee would not answer any questions. She would not even look at us. She set a very bad tone for our stay. There were four in out party. We would NEVER to this excursion again. We left early. Went to Margaritiville, loud and noisey. It took forever to be waited on, take our order, get our food. Once we got our bill, our waitress disappeared. So we got up and had someone else check us out. Then we walked into town and it rained like a monsoon. So we left to catch our ride to the ship. it took an hour to get to dock due to the rain. We did not enjoy this port and we all said we never wanted to go back to this port again.
We did Shore Trips Excursion. Dunnriver Falls, beach and lunch at Scotchies . We would do this again. Jamaica Unique Tours were our guides. There were awesome, funny and knowledgeable. This was the Best excursion on our trip.
Thanks for the review. We leave Dec. 10 how do you get tickets to the shows? This is our first cruise also. Would appreciate any advice. Traveling with 4 kids too! Thanks
