Review summary

Ship was pretty amazing...huge with lots of activities to choose from. The kids had a blast too. I enjoyed Labadee a lot more than I expected.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Easy and quick

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food was great! Lots of options and All were pretty tasty. Only turnoff was that the smoke smell from the casino could be smelled in the lobby into the dining room on level 4, maybe others too, not sure. It was so bad unless you were further back in the dining room.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
So many options we didn’t get to everything...fitness center is huge and has lots of options. Running track was great and could be accessed through the fitness center. Flowriders are always a blast. The water slides were fun...fast. Zip line was short, but still fun...Carousel was a great option for the kids. I loved the beach pool...chairs go into the water. Kid water slide area was so much fun for our little ones. The Ultimate Abyss was ok...thought it would be faster, but a cool ride. So pools on here...seriously. The hot tub that goes out over the ocean was pretty cool too. Laser tag was fun, but they needed to have more than 2 times slots with 5,800 people on board. Not everyone got to participate.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
There was always something fun going on. Aqua 80’s was cool...amazing music and show. Ice show is always fun. Love the band by the pool.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
We loved the Adventure Ocean club..kids always wanted to go...didn’t even want to hangout with us. Staff was amazing.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Milan and Iwayan in the dining room were amazing. Our room steward was so great...kept our room tidy which is hard with 5 people ( 3 young kids) in there. The Adventure Ocean workers at the 3-6 and 7-11 clubs were just awesome.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
It was a beautiful ship...love Central Park... the only reason I’m not giving this a five star rating is because of the closeness of the casino to the dining room, and the horrible smell of smoke that infiltrated the front area of the dining room. Big flaw. I really enjoyed everything else.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We easily fit us and our 3 boys in here. Could’ve had another person easily and had plenty of room. Lots of closet space. Always cleaned for us

Ship tip

Book your shows ASAP before you set sail so you get the times you want. My time dining is really the way to go. Reserve your dining time each day based on your activities. Very flexible

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5
Beautiful beaches and safe. The restaurants were included. The only complaint would be that the Excursions are ridiculously expensive.

Falmouth, Jamaica

5 out of 5
Pretty shopping area...lots of options for excursions..did a beach excursion that was only a few minutes away that included beach lounge chairs. It was ok...beach was little small, but my kids enjoyed it all the same

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Shopping options are great. Our excursion was cancelled...Fury catamaran and snorkel with beach break...I’ve done it before and it is the way to go with family...fun and easy...we want next door to El CID and paid to use the beach etc. it included a mediocre lunch, but yummy piña coladas...music was so loud I thought I was going to go deaf...probably wouldn’t do it again...beach area isn’t great.

Disembarkation

Did Cabin 11134 have a walk-in closet?
