Sail Date: Oct 2015
Cabin: Superior Oceanview Stateroom with Balcony

This ship was impeccably clean and the staff were outstanding. There was plenty to do on the ship, such as going to the casino, pools, hot tubs and numerous shows. The food on this ship was both plentiful and very tasty. The balcony cabin we had was amazing considering the cabin I had on my last cruise. My last cruise I had a inside windowless room which was very small. This balcony room was quite the opposite, very roomy and loves the balcony.

We did two ship excursions, one at Labadee and the other at Jamaica. The river raft ride down the Martha Brays river was very enjoyable. We also took an excursion in Cozumel, Mexico. This one was accomplished outside the port entrance and was no provided by the cruise line. We hired a cab to take four of us to a beach, wow, what a great time we had.

The only downfall with this cruise line was after 9pm you were unable to obtain a drink such as lemonade or ice tea. If thirsty you were relegated to purchasing a drink from the numerous bars onboard.

Labadee

Very nice and safe ride

Grand Cayman (Georgetown)

Wow what an experience. Swam with a pack of Tarpon fish

Falmouth

Well worth the money. Nice relaxing cruise down the river and the guide was very knowledgeable.

Cozumel

The cab driver took us to a beach which turned out to be an Oasis. It was super great. Nice beach, excellent local restaurant and great people. The cab driver waited the entire 3 hours while we swam and ate.
