Review summary

The overall experience was great. The ship was clean and the staff were amazing! Our complaints are leaving late and not being able to visit the Bahamas as promised. The noise on the outside decks (15 and up) was horrendous and so we avoided sitting outside on the pool decks until late at night. Also, we found that there was little or no seating in the Atrium to watch the evening entertainment.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
The embarkation went very smoothly however the Muster Station gathering was an awful experience. Way to many people in such a crowded are and we couldn't hear what was being said. We would have hated for it to have been an emergency.

Ship tip

Don't count on stopping at the Bahamas, unfortunately. And the noise on the top floor (15 & up) is quite overwhelming! We were thankful to have our own balcony.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5

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

Not visiting this stop was a huge disappointment! Medical Emergency & bad weather? Really?

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

4 out of 5
The river rafting was lovely and fun. The beach was beautiful. The bus driver/tour guide frantically rushed us through what should have been a relaxed stop at the beach. Not good.

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
This was the most amazing day! We loved the Grand Caymans! Everything was perfect and we want to go back!

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Another awesome day! We took a jet boat to Passion Island and it was all perfect! Best day ever! So beautiful!

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
The delayed gathering on the ship for departure was very chaotic and lots of confusion.
