So many things to do. Family Feud late night was hysterical. Cruise director, Jackie, was amazing! Vegas Nights show was great as well!

Cabin / Stateroom

Overall it was okay but really didn’t like the setup. Beds in the middle of the room makes it quite tight and the walk space between wall and beds was extremely narrow.

Ship tip

Be prepared to wait on elevators.

Ports of call

Grand Turk Island

3 out of 5

Not much to do. We rented some golf carts and explored the island. Very poverty stricken but also very expensive. Would not do this port again.

Wasn’t impressed with this port and I grew up going to PR every year. Food was not impressive and vendors were very expensive. Not ideal walking due to steep streets. Would not do this port again.
