Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
I was pretty impressed with all. Main dining room menu was very good. I could have eaten steak every night if I wanted to. I didn't go to any specialty restaurants. The pizza place was a great option late night. The buffet was pretty good. However sometimes food was a bit cold. Main dining room breakfast was INCREDIBLE!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Plenty to do! Pools were awesome. I went on all the water slides and had a blast. Also went on the dry slide which was also awesome.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Awesome entertainment all the way around. Something for everyone's liking.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The ENTIRE STAFF of this ship was absolutely 💯 awesome. Just wanted to make sure you were happy and satisfied. Waiters and waitresses in restaurants were awesome. If there is one word that I brought back with me...is "washey washey". The bartenders out in the main pool area as well as pool staff were incredible. Never wanted for anything.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Clean all the way around. Staff were constantly sanitizing.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was nice. However I was romming with my bestie and we wanted separate beds. Did realize they were 2 twins put together. I called guest services and they sent someone up to separate the beds. Beautiful balcony. Spent a lot of late nights listening to the ocean.

Ship tip

If you get on board room credit...pay attention. I knew something wasn't right when it showed me having a negative balance. Turned out I had $870.00 that did not show up. They made it right.

Ports of call

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5
Nice place...very welcoming. However you could tell that they have had a hard time recovering from not having tourists during the pandemic. We went to see the airplanes at Sunset Beach. Awesome experience.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
Great port. A little scary though because they drive on the opposite side of the road there. We did the skyride there. It was awesome.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Great and fun place.

Miami, Florida

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
It was a busy disembarkation. However, it was a well oiled machine. Of note...there are still honest people out there. While riding the bus to the airport, I lost my wallet. Didn't realize this until I reached for it to pay for my luggage check-in. I was freaking out. I always pay attention to details of things and knew it was a green bus. When another one of those showed back up, I described our bus driver to the other driver and he told me his name. I waited for him to show back up. He did. I told him where I was sitting, and he found it.
