Onboard Activities

The Stardust shows all were great. Tenors of Rock was awesome could turn down volume, I found it sounded better and less uncomfortable on the ears if I put my fingers in my ears to muffle the sound a bit. TerranceB funny and informative, Kevin was a hoot! The productions with dancers and singers were awesome. And the Romanza (?) show with Dmitri and Maria unbelievable. All the Entertainment was terrific

Service and Staff

Gro our steward was the best. Very professional, friendly, helpful, personable. Really likes what he does Mandy and her crew: Marta, Jose the Energizer bunny; all were great. The Bar and waiter staff very on top of it. The washy washy staff doing their best to keep us healthy. The Captain and the bridge keeping us on schedule and safe.

Nice. Zipline and botanical garden served lunch. It was the best. Only one thing the guide. Should have informed us we could rent a camera for our helmet to film while zipping through the trees

Very interesting and informative. An engineering marvel

Cartagena, Colombia

5 out of 5
Nicest I felt. Cumbia dancing and walled city. Was a little disappointed I got the impression from the description that we would be watching a full costumed presentation, and touring the Walled City. The shopping and walking was fun. The whole excursion was just not what I expected. Tour guides were great and informedus about the area.

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
This was a great tour. The guide Arlena Isabella was great she took us through areas that were so interesting. It was a great day

Disembarkation
