Review summary

First couple days on the ship were pretty rocky, coat hangers clanging and bathroom door slamming shut. I have a stronger stomach than my Girl Friend and i was still ready to try sea bands and patches. first day didn't eat much but got STUFFED at dinner it was consistently amazing and surprisingly so every time!! second day dove into the food and activities, the boat was rocking still and we had the DLX drink package but had to cancel because my Girlfriend doesn't drink really and i didn't wanna force myself to down 1000 dollars in booze if we were gonna keep rocking so much... Day 3 in Haiti was fun but be careful because the souvenir shops can be aggressive in there hustle especially with each other. good lunch and had a blast on the jet skis definitely gonna try the zip line if we go back. Ohhh and another amazing dinner with Manuel and Iputu we literally requested them every night we could most delightful part of the cruise. Day 4 Jamaica was a blast, different from my previous trip as a child but still so fun, would of enjoyed Bob Marley's tour but it had left so we did Dunns for my second time my GF's first. still awesome! Day 5 don't remember much but Dinner... Day 6 the Xplor Package is the only way to go..... by far the most amazing excursion ever, i wish they had a theme park like it near us!! the buffet for lunch was 5 star all day. Day 7 at sea was cool Paul O. the comedian is hilarious saw his kid friendly, adult, and new stuff thru out the 7 days and it really made me wanna go to comedy shows around here more often because it was hilarious and made a great date every time watching him. Also won the Pool volleyball tournament enjoyed that.

Manuel and Iputu were amazing!! literally made the dining experience something we actually looked forward to every night and would always plan on going to dinner at the American Icon just to see them. you can get a great snack anywhere on the ship but they made dining warm and welcoming. Even went and visited the Park Cafe to see Manuel and grab a panini and chat but he was rather busy so he greeted us and visited us once he had a second. The guy went above and beyond to make us have a good time and i feel like we made a friend along with Iputu! My Lady and I both got pictures with out amazing waiters and they serenaded us on our 3 year anniversary!! Amazing!

it seemed as if everytime we left the room it was made fresh with a new amazing towel creature to decorate the room!!

Ship tip

Take a room towards the back and center if your on the same route. They speed a bit to make the first two ports and seemed to make us rock quite a bit and i have a strong stomach but i had to not drink and we had the DLX package.
