Review summary

Overall, I had a wonderful time on this cruise. Likely, I would travel on this ship again.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
For the number of passengers went quickly and smoothly.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The food and drinks were really good. I don't agree with previous comments about the Lido marketplace. I ate in pretty much all the free establishments; and the food is really good.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Onboard activities were great, including a plethora of choices of comedians and shows. There were so many that sometimes it was overwhelming.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
This category is debatable for me. Some of the staff was obviously very overwhelmed. Some of the staff were unfriendly. However, my stateroom attendant was excellent. I felt like he went above and beyond for me, especially my being a solo traveler.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Havana Experience cabin. Very nice interior cabin. I could hear the noise from the bar on this floor a bit; but it was very clean and roomy. Included a lot of room for my items.

Ship tip

Be prepared for alot of activity and different types of people

Ports of call

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

4 out of 5
Very beautiful but won't see much other than shopping without doing an excursion. I did the Oceanworld cooking experience excursion; it was wonderful. There was a lot of opportunity to interact with the birds and other animals there.

Grand Turk Island

4 out of 5
With all the people on the ship, thousands, the port became crowded very quickly. No excursion. If you would like to grab a chair on the beach at the end of the pier, it's best to arrive there early.

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
Very commercialized near the port entrance. No excursion.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Disembarkation was a bit disorganized. For example, the floor that we were initially told to wait on, before disembarking was different than what they actually told us on the day of disembarkation. After that the process went smoothly.
