Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food was spectacular! The chefs should be commended for a very great job well done. Drinks were wonderful too.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Our youngest LOVED the ropes course and did it daily numerous times a day. We also did mini golf a couple times. He couldn’t do Bball bc the court was always extremely overfull. We did hang out by the pool one day bc it was finally warm enough to do so. Our oldest ran around all day doing older teen stuff with our oldest nephew. They’re right at 18 and do their own thing. We enjoyed the shows, adult game night was a BLAST!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Voodoo was seriously one of the best shows I have ever seen. The dancers, acrobats, aerials, all were amazing and meshed well and did a phenomenal job!!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room steward Pablo did a fantastic job. Room was always nice and clean. He knew our ale before we even made it to the room! Our waiters….omg! We fell in love with them. Coco, Dedy, and Kadek have our heart. If you get them, give them a hug from us. Big tears when we left them.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Design was nice, but we love NOLA. Someone was always cleaning.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Comfortable and always clean. Bed was a bit stiff.

Ship tip

It’s VERY large. Which means there are a TON of people on it. We are glad we went on it. But will definitely go on a mid-size ship from now on. It’s more our thing. Also, we were bummed the Bolt was down a lot and it got canceled on us 3 times.

Ports of call

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
Margaritaville was ok. We weren’t too impressed for the price we paid.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
DR is absolutely gorgeous and we would love to go back. Ocean World was so much fun.

Grand Turk Island Did not visit port

Grand Turk is stunning. The water is seriously the most beautiful water we have ever seen.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easiest experience we have ever had.
