Overall I really enjoyed this ship. This was my second cruise on the Mardi Gras and won't be the last. lol Always entertaining, good food & drinks, excellent staff & service, and the ship is beautiful.

Didn't take long to board at all.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
I went to main dining for breakfast which was good, I enjoyed all of the specialty restaurants with the exception of Rudi's Seagrill (did not visit). I did not eat at the buffet. All of the drinks were fantastic! My favorite bar is the Fortune Teller, followed closely by the Alchemy Bar.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The Thermal Suites is perfect if you want to get away from the noise and children! lol I wish the track on the ship was at least double its current width. I always enjoy playing bingo and watching movies at the outdoor theater.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The Voodoo Moon show was entertaining and everyone could really sing. Loved the dancing and aerial aerobatics as well.

Ship tip

This ship is pretty big. I would recommend checking out a couple of YouTube videos to familiarize yourself with the ship.

Grand Turk Island

The clearest water I have seen in the Caribbean thus far. I highly recommend visiting the Jack Shack further down the beach right before the pier. Some of the best jerk chicken I have ever had and the drinks areon point!
