Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Ate at all the main dining rooms- never had a bad meal. Also ate at LaCucina- very good, had an awesome server named Baby who I then had the pleasure of seeing each morning at breakfast in Savor also.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Pools are always crowded- the 2 big screens showing soccer and/or football were nice. The fitness center was never crowded- a plus for me and I used it almost daily.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Loved Choir of Man! Also loved the Pour House band but always overcrowded for their shows even arriving way ahead of time- they need a bigger venue! Comedians were funny except for the one who walked out mid performance amid some interaction with a lady in the first row. The magician was also very good- we went to both of his shows.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Ocean view room under the bridge- not good for the latter part of the trip with high winds and waves!

Ship tip

Make reservations for dinner and shows early! Don’t book a cabin in the forward part of the ship.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

4 out of 5
Port parking is terrible and expensive- park off site and take shuttle in to the port

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
Took the walking tour of Puerto Plata and the last stop was the rum factory with tasting of 8 different kinds.

Tortola, British Virgin Islands

5 out of 5
Go to Virgin Gorda and the Baths!
