We booked 4 inside Guarantee and got 4 rooms side by side on 9. Great location. Value for price paid was high. Ship was very clean thru out no issues. We did Breeze,Magic & Dream so layout was very familiar. Our Stateroom 9250 was always cleaned twice a day. Room Stewart did their jobs, would not say went above and beyond. Entertainment shows was surprisingly high quality and enjoyed(Afro Cuban, Flick). Very good effects and use of digital backgrounds. Food was good for most part. Buffet options were a bit repetitive but did not eat much at buffet. Main Dining was good most nights, Was not impressed 2 out of the 8 nights. Lobster night was great. Desserts in Lido and Main dining were always great. Thank God for Guys Burgers and Pizza options after long days site seeing at ports. We met the absolute best Main dining room waitress on the first night for our party of 8 and requested her every night and it was great. She knew our names by the 2nd night and was well versed and helpful with the menu options. OlexSandra table 504 in Horizons dining room was extraordinary and a true professional. Room steward did their job and were friendly but did miss refilling Shower Gel for last 2 days.

The Value for the price paid for this cruise was high. The new ship, the 8 days, the itinerary. Sky Ride was fun but short and the Rope course was great. We booked our own excursions outside of cruise with Joe Bananas and we saw a lot. We have 3 kids 11,14 17 and they had a great time. Never felt crowded or overwhelmed by kids. Fellow passengers were mixed crowed from diff countries and respectful. We did not spend a lot of time on the ship as we had alot to see in the ports. We mixed up the historic sites with some time for the beaches as well. This was a great experience with a welcomed break from the Caribbean. Matt the cruise director was the best ever. High energy really got the crowed involved. Name that tune and Adult Scavenger hunt were awesome.

Great location on 9th. Walk up to 10 for Lido (pools, food, bar) and up to 11 for everything else (sports deck, Sky Ride, Slides, Rope course). No noise at night only cabins above/below you
