A really good cruise overall with a nice selection of ports that included beaches not requiring an excursion.

Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
Gym, golf, wave rider, archery, pickel ball, water slides, and pool. All were great except for the pool. The ship is poorly designed to accommodate the number of guests. Not enough lounge chairs in shady areas and people reserving chairs the moment they get up and keep towels in place most of the day not allowing others to enjoy the pool areas.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
We saw the stage shows, ice show, comedy, 70's night party, Aqua show, and Broadway Collage. The comedians really stood out as very funny. The Broadway collage not so much.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
The service in the Diamond lounge and main dining room was fantastic! Special accolades to Amit and Thembecka who were very engaging and treated us to some additional items not on the menu, which really enhanced the dining experience.
Ship Quality
2 out of 5
As mentioned above, the ratio of pool area to number of guests is very poor. It doesn't allow enough folks to enjoy the pool area with the lack of loungers and size of pool. The salt water in the pool was great however. Central Park remains a favorite but the seating there, too, is very limited.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
We really appreciated the upgraded duvet cover and linens. Not too keen on the inside balcony however. Privacy is an issue and limits the enjoyment of the balcony. These should really be marketed on the same level as upscale port hole rooms rather than balconies.
Ship tip
Be prepared for crowds and arrive early for any events to be sure to see them especially in the smaller clubs.
This was the best port on the cruise. The beaches were fantastic and we really enjoyed the lunch and the entertainers that performed local dance and music.
