Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Enjoyed the diningroom and buffett. Sorrentos pizza very good and Park Street Cafe. Many options to choose from without paying additional. Breakfast is free at Johnny Rockets on the Boardwalk

Onboard Activities

No long lines, very well organized

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Must see all the shows..Las Vegas quality Make online reservations before you board. They do have a standby line for those without complimentary reservations. Schedule Hiro early in cruise so you have a chance to catch later if show cancelled..this show is so precise and technically that weather and wind can cause cancellation for performers safety..diving from as high as 56 feet into 13 feet of water. Aerialist is spectacular

Children's Programs

no children with us

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Dado and Ilham..Diningroom 4, anytime dining, table 413..were best out of all our cruises..18..very attentive and personable. Paula our cabin steward for 7441 was a delight and very good. Room was spotless.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
So well laid out and designed it was easier to get around then smaller ships..surprised it didnt feel like over 6000 on board. Even no wait for elevators majority of time

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Very good, quiet, plenty of room with a love seat sofa and bed. Plenty of storage and shower was a capsule style with glass door..hooks in shower for wet clothes. Very nice. We like interior as dark to sleep and only in room to change clothes or sleep otherwise out enjoying the ship

Ship tip

Bring good pair of walking shoes. They have relaxed dress code in diningroom..very nice since on vacation..hubby was fine in dress pants and collared polo shirt even on formal night. Very nice not to have to pack formal attire when flying in for cruise. On casual night dress shorts and polo/golf shirt were ok.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida Did not visit port

Just flew in for cruise and out

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

Cultural bus tour..guide was very knowledgeable. Great variety of sights.

Cococay (Cruise Line's Private Island)

5 out of 5
Enjoyed the fresh water pool. Plenty of lounge chairs. We enjoyed the ones in the shallow water. Very comfortable. Pool is 3 feet 6 inches deep, relaxing. Enjoyed walking in the pool, swim up bar and DJ was good. Complimentary lunch nearby had a great variety of choices..buffett style. CoCo Loco Alcohol drink was very refreshing.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easiest ever..took less then 15 minutes. Didnt need to show passport as facial recognition used.
