Embarkation

We purchased the priority package and it was well worth it.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
We enjoyed the Manhattan Room very much. The food was very good and the service was outstanding. It was so nice having O’Sheehans available for a quick breakfast since I am not much for buffets. The wings and burgers were very good there at lunch too. Specialty Dining: Food Republic- One of our favorites. We ate there twice and enjoyed the variety of choices. Cagney’s Steakhouse- Delicious Filet. The chimichurri sauce was very good. Bayamo- The only place we did not enjoy on the entire ship. The food was meh and we had been looking forward to this meal so it was especially disappointing. The bars were fantastic. And can I just tell you what a difference it makes when the bars are staffed properly? The pool bar always had at least 4 working and the service was much faster than I have seen on any other cruise.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We had a great time on this ship. I really had a blast at the different parties at Spice H2O. Pack your 80’s outfit and plenty of glow in the dark accessories and don’t miss the nightly fun.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The music was fantastic everywhere we went, with a lot of variety. We also did a couple of extra cost options, the You Paint and the Whiskey and Beer Pairing. Both were a lot of fun and well worth the money.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The first time I have been able to walk through a casino on a cruise ship without choking to death on cigarette smoke.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The cabin was nice and the balcony was a good size. The light system for letting the steward now when you needed service was something I hadn’t seen before and it was very easy and convenient.

Ports of call

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

4 out of 5
Great beach and plenty of food and drinks available.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

4 out of 5
We enjoy this port. I wish we had been able to be there for the original itinerary.

Tortola, British Virgin Islands Did not visit port

This port was missed due to a storm.

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

3 out of 5
We only went to the port area, but we were underwhelmed. If you are a pool person that did look fun though.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
There was a medical emergency that made us about an hour behind. We overheard some other guests talking about it or we would have never known why were stuck sitting in the attium. It would have been nice if they had done an announcement of some kind.
