Honestly this was the best vacation I have ever taken! The ship in general had a great layout and had A LOT of things to do! There were a lot of teens and I was able to make friends very easily. But if you aren't a teen/don't want to be on a ship with a lot of kids then you should probably not go over spring break!! But yeah it was so nice. The rooms were always clean whenever you got back and it was so nice that after a long day you could come back to a nice clean room! Our room steward was the nicest person I have ever met and was so hardworking.

The service was very good at all the restaurants (pay and free). The activities were all so cool and it shows that they care a lot by planning everything. I would recommend the water slides and ropes course-they were so exciting and super fun! The pool and hot tub area was very nice as well and garden cafe (the main eating place) was always clean and bright and just had a very nice atmosphere. Our cruise director was Scott and he was very energetic fun and kind throughout the whole trip!

The ports were all very nice and fun and the excursions were all pretty close to the port. I recommend going to Cozumel and the Cayman Islands because they were very fun! Embarking onto the ship overall pretty quick but when you were at the ports it could take a while (especially at the Cayman Islands) but getting off the ship on the last day took a long time and the line was very long, but it was a big ship so it is understandable. Getting off the ship at the ports was very quick though.

Cabin Review

Family Balcony Stateroom

Cabin B2

Such a nice room steward and the room was always clean-very good!

Port Reviews

Miami

The port here was very nice and the overall process of getting on the ship was very quick. Getting off the ship took a little longer-but it is understandable and was still very quick considering there were 4,200 people on the ship!

Great Stirrup Cay

Great Stirrup Cay was a pretty Island but there wasn't much to do there other than swimming (the water was cold), tanning (it was raining on and off), and eating (the food was really good though)!

Ocho Rios

IT WAS SOOO FUN AND EXCITING!! But also dangerous and I felt like I was gonna get hurt at some parts because it was slippery and raining, but the guides took good care of you and made sure you were having fun and were safe!

Grand Cayman (Georgetown)

LOVE Grand Cayman! We didn't do an excursion and just walked around and shopped, but I still had fun! I just love the atmosphere and feel of the island so much.
