Had a great time on the cruise. Embarkation was a pain to be honest. Had a lot of trouble getting into the pier where the ship was docked, traffic was really bad and there was only one other ship there and the problem wasn't the port overall just the actual pier we were at. Traffic doesn't flow real well through the system. The other issue we had is the Priority Boarding, they did it much different here then the other cruise's we have been on. I know I'm just winning here but it wasn't as smooth and comfortable as the other ports we have left from.

Overall the ship was in good condition and we experienced no issues while on the trip. The crew was nice but not as friendly as past crew's. The biggest complaint we had was we couldn't get a bar server to come to our dinner table for nothing to take a drink order. We don't drink a lot but I do like to have a drink at dinner. Common area's were clean and we didn't really have to stand in line much on this cruise like we have had to do in the past. Even breakfast lines at the buffet seemed to go really quick.

Aurba and Curacao were great!!!! We had a blast and would go back to both of these ports the next chance we get for sure. Dominican Republic was fun, we did the dune buggy excursion and had a ball. Grand Turk is a fun beach or pool day for us. We rented a cabana by the pool and had a blast!!

Cabin Review

Ocean Suite

Cabin OS

The cabin was great. I love the suite's for two main reason's. First is extra space. Having four of us in one cabin I like having the extra space to move around. Second is the bathtub. My wife hates taking shower's and loves having a bathtub. The priority boarding is also a great perk of booking a suite. The room was nice, just like all the other suites on the Conquest class ships. The steward was nice but we hardly ever saw him and it took a while if we needed anything for him to get back to us. Maybe I'm just being picky here because it's not like we didn't enjoy the room.
