Review summary

Overall it was good. They need better food options that you don't have to pay for. The staff is wonderful, and ship is very clean.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Not many options for food unless you want to dine in specialty. The food was not as good as I remembered. We ate pizza and burgers every day, which got old.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Alot of repeat activities which made sea days drag out. We didn't tender at private island and they did not put much thought into more activities. We were ready to get off unfortunately.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Choir of men was amazing and one of the best shows we have seen while cruising. Howl at the moon was great, everything else was just okay.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Staff was friendly and attentive. We loved our bartenders in Spice H20- Russell is the best.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
We had an inside cabin. You get what you pay for, it was just enough for us though. No complaints here.

Ship tip

Sleep in, try the pizza and burgers, and stay cleat of main dining rooms.

Ports of call

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

3 out of 5
Good port if you are looking to buy jewelry. Very dirty and crowded. Looks better from the boat.

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
This was the best port. You don't need an excursion. You get off the ship and have a pool, bars, beach, and free wifi. No purchase necessary.

Port Canaveral, Florida

Chaos. We missed our flight because it took us so long to get off the ship.
