Review summary
The cruise was above and beyond what we were expecting. It was my first time on a cruise and my wife and two kids as well. There was so much entertainment on the ship you dont even need to get off at the stops. The workers are everywhere and they treat you like a king and call you sir and they are all so friendly. Most of the workers are from the Philippines and Indonesia and India, they are all so humble and incredibly friendly. The food was fabulous, the buffet by the pool was great and the Windjammer buffet was great. Tons of choice of what to eat. I do have some suggestions. The smoking area is right where the free ice cream bar is by the pool. It couldn't be in a worse location. So when your kids are standing in line to get an ice cream cone they will be breathing cigarette smoke, aweful! Move the smoking area away from where all the kids are, the smoke travels.Also they need to warm up the pools, the water is freezing so all the kids crowd into the jacuzzi where the main pool is. Overall, it was an amazing experience and we can wait to book our next cruise. Don't forget to tip the workers cash, they get paid Jamaican wages. It's an American company yes, but they don't pay them American wages, they pay them Jamaican wages. So barely anything. You get charges 15 dollars a day per customer in gratuities, but that's barely enough to go around for the 2,000 workers. They work 10 hour days, 7 days a week. Ask any of them.Embarkation
