Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The service we received on our cruise was exceptional. Edcel was our stateroom attendant, we roomed in room 8673. He was extremely polite, friendly and accommodating. I believe he has one the not-so-glamours jobs on board and I admired how hard he worked and how he was always so positive. Ronald was our head waiter when we dined in the main dining hall, table 241. He was friendly, accommodating, polite, respectful and punctual. He was also incredibly patient and was passionate about his work. He took time out of his shift and allowed us to get to know him and for him to get to know us. He also gave honest food suggestions. Ignatius, who was the assistant waiter at our table, 241, in the main dining hall was extremely friendly, positive, patient, accommodating, kind, and funny. He was always smiling and was incredibly sweet. He also went above and beyond to accommodate us and made absolutely sure that we were all receiving impeccable service. Dominic, the main dining room manager, was also incredibly accommodating making sure our table was set up in a timely manner and making sure that we dined at our same table every night.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ships design is absolutely beautiful. It was polished, clean, and well organized. The layout was not very hard to follow and all the lounges, bar, and common areas were well attained and maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Size was in no way an issue, we arrived every organized and had no problem making ourselves at home. The overall comfort and cleanliness was exceptional and it had a very cozy vibe.

Ship tip

Be punctual! There were 4,000+ passengers sailing on our cruise, so we learned quickly that if you wanted a seat in the platinum theater you had to get there early.

Ports of call

Cape Liberty (Bayonne), New Jersey

5 out of 5
We did not do an excursion but the port was clean and well organized. Everyone working at the port was welcoming and everything ran in a timely manner.

Royal Naval Dockyard, West End, Bermuda

4 out of 5
We did not do an excursion. I was a little disappointed in this port because a lot of the tourist attractions were closed and we were subjected to only a small part of Bermuda. Granted, they did face a hurricane earlier the past week but I just wished for a little more. However, the shopping centers and all souvenirs were beautiful.

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5
The port was absolutely beautiful and everyone was so welcoming. We did the snorkeling safari and the staff who ran the excursion we funny, friendly, and welcoming.

La Romana, Dominican Republic

4 out of 5

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

4 out of 5
We didn't do an excursion but the port was beautiful. We also went in and looked at all the stalls, vendors, and shops.
