Great variety of food throughout the ship. All the food we had was excellent, tasted great. We loved the dining room experience and ate there every night.

Onboard Activities

We used the pools and the arcade, as well as the water slides and zip line. Excellent and a lot of fun.

Entertainment

We didn't attend any shows, as we were busy with other activities on the ship.

Children's Programs

My teenagers did not participate in the program.

Service and Staff

Every staff member we interacted with was very friendly and helpful. Ivy and Reinen at the Seaside bar were very attentive. Our Stewart kept our cabin clean and came through multiple times a day.

Ship Quality

The ship was clean at all times, and staff could be seen all the time cleaning. The ship is beautiful.

5 out of 5
We arrived a day early and went to the Everglades for an airboat ride and alligator show.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
We spent the evening walking through old San Juan, did some shopping and ate at an amazing restaurant (Vaca Carva?) and the food was excellent, the portion sizes enormous.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
Our group had our own driver who took us around the island, dropped us off at the beach and picked us up again. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Went to the Mountain Top and tried the world famous Banana Daiquiri. Delicious.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5
Again, we had our own driver and he showed us the island and told us about the history of the island.

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
We went to the beach and did some shopping. Always a nice port.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We were off the ship by 9 am. It was very quick and easy, and the luggage was already waiting for us.
