Additional details
We boarded this ship at Port Canaveral. This was a week after Hurricane Matthew so we were somewhat worried about the cruise but glad that we did not cruise a week earlier. We were a bit disappointed because we could not get the "Faster to the Fun" pass but we were on board within 20 minutes of getting to the terminal so we were glad that we did not purchase the "Faster to the Fun".
Once on board we immediately went to Guys Burgers to eat while we waited on our room to be made up. This is a great place to eat. On the second day we were at sea so Guys Pork and Anchor was open. Definitely good Barbeque there. My mouth is watering just writing this review.
There was a band on board that we saw almost every night and they sounded just like Journey. This made our trip as well. The Red Frog Pub had an awesome waiter that called himself "Sweet Chocolat" and he was always funny and helpful. He would recommend a drink if you did not know what you wanted and was always spot on with his recommendations.
Cabin Review
Balcony
Cabin was very clean and had a great view. I enjoyed sitting out there while my wife got ready for the day.
Port Reviews
Amber Cove (Puerto Plata)
Took an excursion on a Catamaran that was booked through Carnival. Had a great time with the crew including who went by the name of Tiger Woods. He was very funny.
St. Thomas
Took a cab ride over to Coky Beach. Very nice beach with beautiful water. Would highly recommend this to anyone.
San Juan
Been to this port multiple times so just stayed on the ship and hung out by the pool. Great day to relax.
Grand Turk
Went to Maragaritaville at the end of the pier. There was already another cruise ships so the beach was very crowded but beautiful water. Would like to do this port when it is not quite so crowded. Would highly recommend anyway.
