We chose this cruise because of the dates and Itinerary, We had not been to these islands on previous cruises. This was a Family of 12 cruising together, most for the first time.
The ship is near spotless, constantly cleaning. The crew are the best we have ever met. Pool waiters were fantastic, we rarely had to go to the bar. Food in MDR was great. We did one special meal at Tuscan Grill. it was so gooood.
The ports, well I think it was my mistake in booking the excursions. I booked one on Grand Cayman because I had read other reviews of a nightmare getting off the ship, unless you have a booked excursion through the ship. Add to dictionary and lunch at Tiki Beach not good. Was not worth the money 119pp. And on Jamaica we had booked and excursion outside the cruise line, but because of the Grand Cayman experience the group decided just to take the shuttle to Red Stripe. We were told it would be 29 pp but when it showed up on our room it was 40pp. And they charged me 4x instead of just 3. Guest relations did credit us all back where we were charged the extra people. but would not reduce to the 29pp that the young lady in the ticket booth told us. Lesson learned.
cabin was clean, and comfortable
Its a great beach, had a great day hanging out with the family on the beach but wow the vendors are so aggresive, its sad and scary at the same time. and if your anything like me I have a hard time saying NO. or being rude. so I parted with some dollars on things I didn't want, like or need just so I could get away. ha ha. oh well.
