Review summary

We enjoyed our cruise. It was relaxing and we were not rushed to do anything, everything at our pace. The ship was clean, hand sanitizing stations everywhere. We never had a problem finding deck chairs.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

We purchased the Key. We walked to the special area for the Key got checked in and headed to the ship. From the time we parked to the time boarding the ship took less than 30 minutes.

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5

The port was easy to get to and get out of for parking. We did not do an excursion.

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5

It was very nice and clean. There's not much to do if you do not do an excursion. Recommend going on one here. We did not.

Falmouth, Jamaica

4 out of 5

The port was okay. Again not much to do in this port. There was a little more shopping opportunities. Some shops did not want to let you leave without trying to get you to purchase something. Unless you enjoy shopping, I recommend an excursion. We did not do one on this trip.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5

Plenty of beach and pool access. We were able to find chairs at each place we visited. Free lockers were also provided. We did not purchase anything extra and enjoyed our beach time.
