Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Our assigned restaurant was most excellent. The buffet was always good and food variety was great. Though, food should have been kept a little warmer.and

Service and Staff

After reading several reviews I was a little worried. But, the staff was most excellent with greetings and friendly service.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Holly crap! Some of the passengers on the ship were messy. Just to give you an idea where I come from, we are out side at the buffet as often as possible. We always cleared our table and took the stuff back inside. It’s usuall a little windy and a lot of times there will be birds. This gesture never went unnoticed and we were always thanked. The staff around the ship were always busy keeping the ship tidy.

Ship tip

Be patient, the staff is trying to accommodate 4000+ passengers. Give em a break.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

4 out of 5
We flew into Ft. Lauderdale and rented a car. We got a room at the Marriott on Biscane Bay over looking the port and cruise island. Went to dinner and wrapped up the evening cruising Miami’s North and South beach. We had an awesome time for what little time we had. We turned in the rental car at the hotel next door without a hitch and used Luxury Vallet & Transportation to get to cruise dock and back to Ft. Lauderdale airport when it was time to leave. The people were punctual, friendly, and the vehicles were very clean. Their rates are fair!

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

3 out of 5
OMG! We did the Bobsleds and the Falls excursion. Excellent! But the people are very pushy almost rude about getting you to buy stuff.

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
Sting ray city! A must! Cleanest, and most friendly of all the ports we visited.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
Shopping day, but here is a tip. Go outside and nogociate an island tour with the taxi drivers in front of Senior Frogs. Knew several passengers that did this and had a fantastic time.

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
We did the Pearl Island. It was beautiful and the included lunch was awesome. The people were friendly. The Bar sucked! The drinks were kept in coolers and beers were warm. If your wanting to snorkel take a different excursion. The snorkeling area is very very limited.
