Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Childrens’ “playsection” noise near Johnny Rocket interferes with Aqua Show; and, if cost-effective(??), should be relocated proximate-to The Carousel (could also facilitate keeping an “eye-out” for more than one child if they are “closer-together”?

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
OK; but, prefer the firmer room-cleaning Twice-Per-Day as that “ONLY ONCE PER DAY” choice of ‘Room-Clean’ choice of either “only morning room cleaning” or “only evening room cleaning” not-desirable and didn’t “work” on this cruise.

Ship tip

Bring lots of patience, as sometimes, even “reservation-planned-events” get backlogged and delayed if too many people are interested in the same venues

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

5 out of 5
Great embarkation ststem

Oranjestad, Aruba

4 out of 5
“BACK-TO-BACK” (morning onto afternoon) excursions “too close” in that morning excursions end “late” and sometimes need to “Rush” to “just-make” (or lose-out-on) the afternoon excursion (“rushed”)

Willemstad, Curacao

4 out of 5
“BACK-TO-BACK” (morning onto afternoon) excursions “too close” in that morning excursions end “late” and sometimes need to “Rush” to “just-make” (or lose-out-on) the afternoon excursion (“rushed”)

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island) Did not visit port

Every Cruise taken in the psst, it has always turned out to be overcrowded

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Smooth great efficient disembarking
