Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
So many food choices Everything we tried was great. We still missed some food venues. Only issue was no food options after 10pm, except for pizza. Would love to see a few more late night options

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Loved Bolt, but only got to ride it once. Our reservations kept getting canceled for "maintenance " Played Mini-Golf, plenty of Trivias, Ropes course, and did plenty of playing in the pool.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
All of the shows were amazing. We seen 6 comedians, the electric violins, a few deck parties, and a few stage shows. What we enjoyed the best was The Backyard Band at Summer Landing.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The best service we have ever had on a cruise. Everyone was so friendly and went out of their way to help. George in MDR was great

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

Ship tip

Ship is huge with plenty to do, and plenty to eat. Make an effort to try as much as you can

Ports of call

Nassau, Bahamas

1 out of 5
Did Blue Lagoon Family Beach Day. Huge mistake I still don't know what we paid for. They separated the beach because there were multiple ship excursions. We got stuck in a tiny portion, very shallow- under 3 feet deep. No soccer or volleyball on beach. Food was below average at best. Waste of time

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
Did the 27 Waterfalls and Zipline Excursion . Had a great time, lots of walking

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very easy.

Sadly I would have to agree with Blue Lagoon as well. I get they are having to follow covid protocols, but we were also sectioned off into a small area that was very shallow and could not venture elsewhere, except to the lunch area and gift shop areas.
