Review summary

Amazing ports and amazing staff!! Ship is ok but I like the Breakaway class better. If this ship was sailing this itinerary again I would cruise it again but I wouldn’t sail on this ship just for the ship.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
The embarkation was relatively fast having shown up at port right at 11am. We were on the ship in about an hour. It was somewhat more chaotic than my previous experiences in Miami.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

We only ate at the complementary restaurants and they were all amazing!! Love the noodle bar!!

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Frequented the casino and I did not like the layout. Too many different sections and very tight seating.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Enjoyed the bands in the Atrium and pool deck. Also enjoyed the shows in the Atrium.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Amazing waiters in Taste and casino. Our room steward was amazing and always greeted us with a smile!!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
All week the ship was very clean except for the last night...it seemed like the staff couldn’t keep up with the cleaning.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
The cabin was clean and the balcony bigger than on the Breakaway class ships but the room was very small. I didn’t mind the toilet, shower and sink being all separate but getting from one side of the room to the other required one of the 3 people staying in the room to stay on the bed while the other person made their way across the room.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

1 out of 5

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas Did not visit port

Very sad we couldn’t tender to the port because of high seas.

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

5 out of 5
Loved tubing down the white river and swimming at the blue hole!!

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
One of the most amazing things I have done in my life is swimming with the stingrays!!

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Lots of confusion but I think some of it was people not listening to direction and some had to do with a new system that customs is using where you have to get photographed before getting off the ship which caused a backup onto the ship instead of the normal line at customs.
