Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We did the main dining room every night and the food was SUPERB!!! We did breakfast at both dining room and windjammer(buffet) both were wonderful!!!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Pools were great but the thing that wasn't was no water shoes allowed in pool or on water slides... The stairs leading up to the slides are very hot and burn the bottom of your feet.. the trivia games are fun... I highly recommend attending one of the art auctions, it was my first time and I absolutely loved it!!!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Travis Cloer, a Jersey boy performer from vegas was FANTASTIC!!!! Puck the magician was there as well and he was great as well!!! We also seen the ice skating show in studio B and it was fantastic as well!!!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Omg, the wait staff we had(Vivek and Trang) were outstanding... Our room steward Asep was wonderful as he kept our room beautiful and his amazing towel animals put a smile on our faces as well as some giggles!!!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Very well maintained!!! As we're first time cruisers it was kind of confusing at first to learn what floors you had to take to get to certain areas..

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The room was AWESOME!!! It was a spacious panoramic Ocean view... The view was AMAZING!!! The bed was a bit too firm for us, the bathroom is probably the size of 2.5 phone booths.. lots of room for storage, the room was very clean and ohhhhh how soft the linens and towels were!!!

Ship tip

Just take your time on the ship... Please ask questions to the crew as they will guide you to where you need to go!!!

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5
Very clean and super easy to park and to get aboard!!!

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5
BEAUTIFUL!!!! The only bad thing was the marketplace on how super pushy the natives were for their booths to sell items, I mean it was pretty bad and they wouldn't take no for an answer... You have to definitely stand your ground.. I highly recommend the sip and paint excursion.. it's so much funand the labadoozies are delicious!!! You get to paint a plate or a pot as a souvenir that the locals make!!!

Falmouth, Jamaica

1 out of 5
This port we definitely felt like it was a money grabber... If you had excursions to attend to then maybe but then again most of the excursions were in Montego Bay or Ocho Rios, a good 45min to an hour drive each way... The port was pretty and the locals were super nice..

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Coco Cay is BEAUTIFUL!!! This definitely one that should be a two day thing!!! The beaches were gorgeous, the kids splash area and ship our kiddo really enjoyed... There is definitely no need to purchase the thrill park pass for this destination!!!

Disembarkation
