Review summary

This was our first cruise ever! And it was everything I dreamed of and more way more!!!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
So easy, especially when traveling with someone with high anxiety..

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We ate at 2 of the 3 specialty restaurants... teppanyaki and butchers cut.. WE especially liked teppanyaki! I will say the food in the yacht club was sooooooo very delicious that it was hard to eat outside of the yacht club!!!!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We enjoyed everything we did! Shows, casino, bingo, food!!!!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Honestly we only made it to the Michael Jackson’s tribute show.. it was tons of fun!!! I’m sure I would of loved all the shows...

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Ok, so we were in the yacht club and literally every staff member was amazing and super sweet!!!! Our butler Iwayna was so great, and our assistant butler, he was the hardest working guy I personally saw on the ship!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Never been on another ship so I felt like everything was amazing! Very clean and amazing design...

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The cabin was even better than I had a imagine it would be!!!! Honestly I could have spent a week just sitting in the cabin and would have been great!!! It was super clean and in perfect condition..!

Ship tip

Smile everyone we encountered was friendly..

Ports of call

Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Ocean Cay is amazing!!!! We also totally lucked out with the weather! Started out a little rainy and we knew going in our day would be cut short.. it was wonderful!

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
We LOVED this port!!!! Walked off ship met the best taxi driver who took us to calico jacks. After a few hours we called him to pick us up and ask if we could do a rum tasting some where..? He brought us to seven fathoms!! Best time ever!!!! Our driver even waited while we did the tasting..!

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
Mr. Sancho’s wasn’t a great fit for us... The food was great! And really enjoyed massages.. I’ve been to Cozumel before and it’s a great island!!

Miami, Florida

Cruising for the very first time, it must have been amazing for you. It's not quite the same feeling after your 20-something cruise. Not that I'm bored, but your 1st time is usually make or brake on impressions.
