Ship experiences

The main dining room food was good the buffet was average.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The escape room was a lot of fun. The teenagers in our group really enjoyed the variety of activities. The dance fitness class was a disappointment.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
First rate shows!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff was very friendly and went out of their way to accommodate our wants and needs.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The ship was well maintained with cleanliness issues only as a result of sloppy passengers. The ship layout was difficult at times due to multiple dead ends around where the cabins were located.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We were lucky enough to be assigned a cabin equipped for those with disabilities. It was spacious and clean. It was the size of a hotel room.

Ship tip

Eat the majority of dinners in the main dining room. Avoid the Windjammer Cafe in the evening.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

4 out of 5
It was similar to others I’ve been to. We did not participate in excursions. Having shuttles to the airport readily available upon disembarking was great!

Willemstad, Curacao

4 out of 5
It was my second time to this port this year. My excursion on my prior visit was great! Not as many shops as I had hoped going into town this trip.

Oranjestad, Aruba

5 out of 5
I had a fun excursion this visit with Jaleesa(?) called Aruba Sights,Sounds and Tastes. There were nice shops in town.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Very pretty Island. We enjoyed the BBQ lunch. Plenty of open beach for everyone.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
There was a slight delay due to technical difficulties with the second gangway.
