First cruise! What a disappointment. First of all I felt the service was wonderful. Our cabin Stewart, Francis was wonderful. Our dinner server Marichu was fabulous.

I guess my expectations were high which is why I'm disappointed with this cruise. Being on a ship for two consecutive days, I would have liked there to be more to do. The first day we sat out in the sun. The pools are very small. The pool is more like a place to cool off and get out. Forget about swimming.

There are two bars on either side of the pool. If you like to drink, you'll be fine. The food is near the pool too. Enjoy!

Cabin Review

Cabin Window ocean view

The cabin was better than I expected. There was room to move around in. Although it was small, I didn't mind the bathroom. It was fine.

Port Reviews

Port Canaveral (Orlando)

This is where we borded. Easy experience.

St. Maarten

Beautiful water. We walked along a street and shopped then walked in the water. I would ah e spent the day on the beach if I knew this.

San Juan

It was ok. Book an excursion to enjoy it.

Grand Turk

Go to magarietaville. Do not go directly to the ocean and pay for chairs and umbrellas. The beach is rocky. We went to the pool and enjoyed ourselves more.
