Review summary

70's night - disappointed that they had a "few" rings to throw out and a "few" beads to throw, plus a couple of t-shirts. They urged the passengers to beg for these - very demeaning. Either have a lot more or don't do it at all - very cheaply done. Should leave coffee on in Diamond Club on deportation morning, it was cut off early. Other than that, the cruise was very pleasant and fun. Food good, wonderful treatment by all staff, enough activities for adults.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Quick, efficient, friendly, best and fastest ever.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Only had one meal that I didn't care for - the salmon was too dry one night, but the other night it was fine. No complaints. Buffets were fine. Only complaint is that the dining room for breakfast expected you to use their buffet. Staff would take an order, but urged us to do their buffet. If I wanted to get my own meal, I would have gone to the Windjammer.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Several days poolside. Enjoyed the belly flop contest. Always had some type of music by the pool which was much appreciated. Also had life-guards on duty constantly by the pools, this was great, even when there were no people swimming.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Comedy shows were hilarious!!!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Room stewards and waiters were tops!! Room stewards kept us supplied with extra towels, wine glasses and towel animals. Waiters made sure we were happy with our meals, brought whatever we wanted.

Did the Balmoral dolphin experience. It was awesome.

Cococay (Cruise Line's Private Island)

5 out of 5
Beautiful. Hate that they are turning it into a water park - need to leave it natural. Just a way to cost passengers more money.

Key West, Florida

5 out of 5
Malory Square is beautiful, not to be missed at sunset!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Disembarkation was smooth and easy. We did self-assist and were able to do our own thing.
