Review summary

This was an overall great cruise! We enjoyed our time on and off the ship! The ship was beautiful and lots to keep us entertained! We really liked the walk way around the outside of the ship on level 8!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation was quick and easy! We were on the ship and eating at the buffet within 30 minutes of arriving at the port!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The main dining rooms seemed like they needed a bit more work on flow, but the food was great! Service took a little time. You didn't want to be in a hurry to get somewhere if you were planning on eating in the dining rooms.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We loved the water slides and the rope course! Mini golf was a nice way to spend a little time getting some activity, too. We spent a little time in the hot tubs, but they were usually pretty full of people. The upper level of the ropes course was closed off due to broken equipment (from what we understood). We would have enjoyed it even more if we could have went higher and done more zip-lining.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The entertainment was good and different from what we would ordinarily see.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Overall the service was quite good and we didn't have to wait too long in the bars to get drinks. The service in the dining rooms could have been better and faster. The staff in the buffet area was friendly.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
We liked the ship and the layout very much. It is a newer ship and it shows. We were impressed with our inside state room. We had expected even closer quarters. We liked the interactive tv and screens available to make reservations and view other on-board activities.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The cabin was small but adequate. It was better than our expectations for an inside stateroom. It wold have been nice to have some kind of drawers to put clothing in, but we managed.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
We loved Miami beach! We stayed a couple of days before and after our cruise! South Beach was fun!

George Town, Grand Cayman

4 out of 5
We went to Stingray City. The weather wasn't the greatest, but we had a good experience with the stingray, anyway.

Falmouth, Jamaica

5 out of 5
We loved Jamaica! We went to the Blue Hole and it was beautiful and fun. We did river tubing afterward and that was very enjoyable.

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

The weather was too bad to tender in so we missed the private island.

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
We did a local history tour that was quite informative. We saw the chocolate factory and John Watling Distillery. We saw the Queen's staircase and had a good time shopping.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easy disembarkation. We liked being able to walk off as soon as we were ready.
