Review summary

Nice cruise but 8 days needs another port. We think 5 to 7 days are sufficient so not repetitive.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Fast and easy except off port parking vendors are not as good as Port Canaveral

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Average food with a good variety of selections but flavors lacking.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Plenty of thing's to do. Hard to find pool chairs as usual even in adults only solarium. Bingo is pricey for only 3 games. Just a thought but maybe do 6 games then more winners instead of only 3 people getting $500-1000 each.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Shows were really good, especially the Effectors as well as Showgirls. The Book Is oddly good too.

Children's Programs

No children

Service and Staff

All staff were friendly and hardworking. Shout out to Greg our Room 10610 attendant and also Pande our funny guy from Chops Grill and cocoa cay.

No excursion but island and beaches were nice. Water was too cold and it was a chilly day.

Oranjestad, Aruba

Just shopping 🛍

Willemstad, Curacao

5 out of 5
Shopping 🛍 and unexpected $8 pina colada drink by the dock watching waves crashing.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easy peasy walk off with our luggage at 6:45 am. Just a drag waiting for pickup by FT Parking who didn't start until 7:10 and didn't arrive until after 7:30 and illegally crammed too many people in the van. Poor kid had to stand smashed against sliding door.
