Sail Date: Dec 2017
Cabin: Ocean View Stateroom

Port of Canaveral allowed us to drive our family easily, Ship itself. Would return due to quality of entertainment. Staff have a notably positive attitude, and seem genuinely interested in providing us a great time. All ages were aboard this holiday cruise (17 Dec to 24 Dec) and families with disabled folk all managing well. Kids seemed to be having a blast - at all ages. Extraordinarily diverse guests from all over USA, Scotland, Brazil, Thailand, etc.

We dined without an upcharge (treating four grown kids) but enjoyed the array of options including room service, dining room, buffets, pizza at all hours, solarium. Hot tubs never over-crowded. Floors always kept clean and clear. Massive ship had minimal motion of the ocean - enough though to wonder how ice skaters and stage dancers could land their spins and flips! I was fascinated with the quality of musical talent in the club shows, and would look forward to that facet of my next cruise.

Port Reviews

St. Thomas

Centennial year (1917-2017) of US purchase from Denmark-Norway of this island for WWI strategic purposes. Torn to pieces by recent hurricane. Danish beer (Carlsberg) in the local shops! Where Alexander Hamilton was raised (born nearby in Nevis.) Where the glitterati party in the new year.

San Juan

Our family of six walked comfortably from the dock, through the old town to San Felipe del Morro Fortress, then to Castillo de San Cristobal, and back to the ship through a town square with a couple of shops along the path. Time in dock was 9-2:30, which still allowed plenty of time for a walking tour.

Labadee

Beach day with food buffet from the ship, and local entertainment and souvenir shopping. For the adrenaline seeking: a massive zip line and jetski rentals available.
