Review summary

New Years was the best time to cruise great party atmosphere when you wanted it. Quiet when you needed it. Mardi Gras is a fantastic ship, my favorite so far.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
With so many people embarkation was actually fairly easy and organized. They let you in the terminal but called the letter and number on boarding pass and it went pretty smooth.

Ship tip

Go with the flow, sometimes it's better to go get ice cream instead of waiting for guys burger when they open. Bring your patience, lots of people from all over the world are vacationing.

Ports of call

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
First time I've seen the Junkanoo parade. Was pretty cool to see.

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
We love grand turk! Took a golf cart around the island on our own, we had great time adventuring on our own especially pulling over to empty beaches.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

Port Canaveral, Florida

Disembarkation

Follow the directions and get off pretty fast for 6,000 people getting off the ship at once.

Cruising is what you make. Very nice ship , but overall too big for us. We’ll stick to the smaller class.
