Review summary

Great experience and service. 

Food is great and wide selection but if it has more Asian choice and change a little bit in each day it would be much better. We found most of the breakfast serving the same. But overall is good, we love windjammer and solarium which is healthier food. 

Drinks and alcohol, we have to buy package with quite high price so we expect to have more variety for that. It should not have only soda because it is not suitable for health concern people, it should include lemonade, ice tea, etc...

Some shows not quite interested and boring like CATS, may be some more fun and popular shows would be better. But the great show that we love so much is acapella singer, this is very amazing. 

For shore excursion, we had wonderful trip in Haiti (cultural tour) and Cozumel (Xcaret) but not in Jamica (Dunn's river fall and plantation) because it took us more than 2 hour to sit in the bus back and fourth also we had lunch at 4pm which is too late. Before having lunch, staff at restaurant also trying hard to take photo of us. This is not nice. Actually shore excursion should include more details like how long for bus, how far for each place, etc....this all information is very important for us in making decision. We have no this information before we purchase.

Food and Dining

Food is great taste but shouldn't add gratuity $12 on dinner each day. We feel there're many hidden costs that we never known before and need to pay.

3 out of 5
Nice beach but nothing much to do, it would be better if we can touch real local Haitian and see their real culture.

Falmouth, Jamaica

3 out of 5
Port is quite far and shore excursion lack of information. It should have specific schedule and time table. Dunn's river fall is too pack and plantation is too far. We want to see Jamaican culture. We quite disappointed from this trip, lunch is served late at 4pm and not real Jamaican food.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Nice beach and city, plenty of things to do. We love this most.

Lemonade and iced teas are free so don't need to be included in the drinks package. The Replenish package includes bottled water, juice and specialty coffees as well as soda and non alcoholic frozen drinks so there is something for health conscious people :-)
