Alchemy Bar

5 out of 5

Zultan is an amazing bar tender he made my drink which is no longer on the menu. And he makes an Almond Joy that is fantastic.

Cucina del Capitano

3 out of 5

Now the food here was really good. But the service left a lot to be desired. They acted like they couldn't seat our 9 people table yet when a party of 10 came in they sat them together with no issues . We also felt kind of rushed.

Onboard Activities

Bolt was everything I imagined it to be and then some.

Waterworks Aqua Park

3 out of 5

The only reason waterworks got a 3 the drop slide was out of order the day I went to do it.

Beach Pool and whirlpool

5 out of 5

The Sail away party was so much fun and I truly enjoyed the 80's Party they just needed some Prince and Michael Jackson

Serenity Adult-Only area

5 out of 5

The Serenity Deck was amazing and the salads we're delicious along with the drinks. But it was extremely windy up there.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
My room Stewart was great. Along with the fun squad and Zultan and Maria. Most workers spoke and we're very nice. Now the greeters at the restaurant need a little more training on how to speak with people.

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The Cove Balcony is amazing I would do it again love the sound of the ocean. A little smaller than my previous cabins but worked out great.

Ship tip

Avoid the elevators if you must use them the front ones have less people.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

We enjoyed the ship. Got off to meet a friend and two locals started fighting so back on the ship I went.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

5 out of 5

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
We enjoyed the water and the drinks and food there. Keep in mind bring some water shoes for the ocean.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Disembarkation was a hot mess like everyone says it is but we got off okay. On the shuttle and off to MCO in less than an hour.

Traveler Photos

First Formal night Palms Dinning Room Bolt boost button at sea makes things more intense. 80's Party 80's party with the fun squad. The Cove Balcony 5248 it was nice and cozy We stayed at the Home 2 Suites right at Cape Canaveral and it was a nice and clean hotel . We took advantage of the pools and the cocktails I paid 20.00 for an umbrella but it came in handy when a rain storm happened.
