Review summary

My husband and I had a great trip! We wished we had booked a balcony on the Promenade for the New Year's festivities. That would have been fun to watch from there because it was very crowded. If you are thinking about a New Year's Cruise on this ship, keep this in mind. I wish they would work on creating adult only areas.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Quick and Easy - I loved already having a photo taken at home.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The food in the main dining room is bland. The drinks are terrible! Watered down and not worth the money.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The putt-putt was in a perfect location for a game.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The shows were so good! The costuming was phenomenal. The rock band was a little cheesy, although the drummer and lead guitarist are very talented.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Best room steward we have ever had. William was great!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship had a place for everyone. The adult pool area is very crowded. They do not enforce the chair saving rules that are posted, but neither does any other ship. It was difficult to find a chair at any time.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
We loved everything about our cabin except the mattress. It was terrible and hard. It was the worst mattress we have ever had on a cruise and this was an expensive cruise.

Ship tip

We loved the different places to eat on the ship that were included. It provided a nice variety. Get the App. The calendar was so helpful.

Ports of call

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

4 out of 5
The Zip Line is great! We did not enjoy having a marching band suddenly playing in our ear while we were trying to relax on the beach. I understand that they are playing for tips, but we are supposed to be chilling on the beach.

Falmouth, Jamaica

4 out of 5
We did the Blue Hole and River Float. Do not go to Blue Hole from Falmouth. We spent four hours in a van.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
We love Cozumel, but this time our excursion was a bust.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We looked in a camera and walked out. It was so simple.

I always try to at least book a balcony at the minimum

I believe you can request a bed topper if you find the mattress too hard, for future reference at least!
