Review summary

Awesome Cruise overall with a group of 15 of us. 4 of them it was their first cruise and the other 11 of us it was (most of their) 2nd cruise. So happy we have friends that enjoy cruising with us!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
1st time out of Port Everglades and it was super easy and fast. All workers were very nice

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Main dining room food was amazing. Windjammer has a great variety of food

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
There are plenty of activities to do online, however, unfortunately we did not do all of them. 2 of the kids did the flow rider, which they enjoyed, and only 2 of the kids did the Ultimate Abyss. The reason I gave 4 stars is I wish the Ultimate Abyss had better/later hours. Closing at 6 pm on the last day (which was a sea day) kind of bummed us because we were so busy the other times we didn't get to all do it.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Hiro, the Aqua show is a MUST see!!!!

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
Unfortunately we had one child who didn't want to stay because she was by herself in the room (not with any siblings). And 2 of our kids that went said it was "boring", however, we know it's just because it was them because they didn't want to go, so that is why I'm still giving it 5 stars.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Reyven and Antonio was our waiters in the main dining room, and with a group of 11 of us, they did a fantastic job! They took care and entertained our kids while us adults were eating

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I felt like the ship was very clean

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The size of the cabin was perfect and fit us all great. We had a room right next to the other family that went with us, so we opened the balcony door, which made an even bigger balcony.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

5 out of 5
Port Everglades was a nice port. We did not do any excursions because that was just the port we got on the sip at.

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
Nassau is always a stop on our cruises we have been on. This time we didn't do an excursion, instead we decided to walk to a beach. It was a little nerve wracking walking out of the port without someone that knew where to go, but we made it to the beach.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Coco Cay never fails to impress! We didn't do an excursion, instead we just enjoyed time at the beach

Falmouth, Jamaica

3 out of 5
I rated this a 3 because we didn't do an excursion because it made us nervous being on a level 3 travel advisory. So instead we just got off the ship and walked around in the port, which was nice as well.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
disembarkation is always a sad time having to leave the ship, but it was very fast and went seamlessly
