Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Great pizza at the buffet, as expected from an Italian made ship lol. Specialty dining was also fantastic. I loved the steakhouse and the teppanyaki restaurants, food was just as good as any fine dining restaurant on land.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Slight downside was that the whirlpools were always full… had to purchase a thermal area pass to get some whirlpool experience. But nevertheless there was stuff to do at any given hour on the ship.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Enthusiastic staff and attentive waiters, great experience.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Very easy to navigate, pristine and clean at all times, great job crew!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Spacious enough for two adults and maybe one kid. This was the balcony option.

Ship tip

If you’re going to ocean cay then you need to try out their jetski tours!

I was on the same cruise! It was fantastic until the end when the young lady jumped overboard from the 18th floor. Unfortunately she did not survive. 😢

Glad you had a great cruise. Did they ever find the passenger that went overboard?
