Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Buffet lacked variety over the week . However, it was fine for buffet food. Dining room food was very good. Plenty of choice. Specialty coffee drinks very tasty.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Plenty to do for a younger crowd, not so much for seniors.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Singers were top notch. Costumes and sets were Broadway worthy. Comfortable theater. Included dancers, various acrobats. Some opera, some comedians. Shows tended tot be similar, maybe due to multi-nationalities of passengers. Cruise Director Steve was entertaining and informative.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Restaurant staff was exceptional. Room staff was very efficient. Staff would exceed your expectations for service and helpfulness.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship was magnificent. A treat for the eyes. A chrome and glass elegant masterpiece. 5, 000 passengers, but no one place seemed over crowded. World class spa. Crystal staircases and atrium will be remembered forever.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Size, comfort, and cleanliness, were good. More outlets would be good. Bathroom was tiny but workable.

Ship tip

World class ship and service. Enjoy the international crew and guests. (But WiFi service is sketchy at best.)

Ports of call

Miami, Florida Did not visit port

Only saw the airport.

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

4 out of 5
Jamaica is beautiful. Plenty to see, do, and eat. Aggressive street people were annoying, but never felt threatened.

George Town, Grand Cayman

4 out of 5
Seven Mile Beach may be the the finest in the world. I've never seen water like that anywhere. Overall a safe and interesting place to visit.

Cozumel, Mexico Did not visit port

Due to poor weather we did not visit.

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
Interesting place, but very hot when we visited. Good shopping areas.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
