This was our 6th cruise and we were a little apprehensive. This ship exceeded all our expectations and we think is the best BIG ship out there! Embarkation was great and we were on the ship by 12:00 NOON. We had four adjoining balcony cabins on the 8th deck. It was great because all of the balconies connected making a large veranda.

Ports: Labadee was our least favorite. Very crowded and the food was the basic picnic food on picnic tables. Jamaica was great. We took a private tour of river rafting on bamboo rafts combined with a trip to Dunns River Falls. The waterfalls were soooo crowded - it was not enjoyable. The River Rafting was superb !! Grand Cayman we rented a private sailboat charter and went to the reef snorkeling and then to Stingray City. It was great ! Cozumel we did the jeep tour combined with snorkeling and lunch .... so much fun and we saw the entire island.

Entertainment on the ship was fabulous! Don't miss the large production shows. Dinners were great! Service everyone was top drawer. There have been some cases of viruses on board, so there is hand sanitizer everywhere. Crew members are handing out sanitizers at every entrance. My daughter got sick while on board with serious bronchitis. The infirmary, doctors, and nurses are superb. She was treated aggressively with IV antibiotics AND oxygen/nebulizer treatments for easier breathing. A CBC blood test was also done on board to check her white blood count. It was done much faster than could have been done in the U.S. She was able to enjoy the remainder of the cruise AND was checked on twice a day. I felt very confident with the medical staff!! For a ship this large, the service was excellent. Read more
