Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We had an extended balcony, which was really nice. The size of the cabin was very accommodating, the balcony helped make it feel even bigger. Our stewards did an excellent job at keeping our cabin clean and well stocked, Always greeted you with a smile and calling you by your name

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5
There wasn’t very many shops o. This island, we did take a glass bottom boat ride, it was ok

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

1 out of 5
This was a very fun port, we did a tubing tour down a river, our guide was Arrow, he was very knowledgeable and helpful

George Town, Grand Cayman Did not visit port

The swells was to dangerous for th tenders to transfer people, so the captain had to cancel the port call. He had to make a hard call, but he put his staff and the passengers safety first

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Very nice port, we did sea trek here, you put a helmet on with an air hose attached and go 20 feet under the water, saw lots of pretty fish

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Getting off the ship was organized, but it took a long time to get through customs

Hi! I noticed that you stayed in cabin 4020. We will be staying above that one in 5020 on our cruise in July. Was there any noise in that general area (anchor, etc) that was disturbing? Thanks!

Was on this ship last month. Very disappointed with food choices. Also entertainment in theater was poor.
