Review summary

We departed from San Juan and the embarkation lines were long outside, but once inside the building we were immediately checked in and on the ship. The itinerary is the reason we sailed this ship. The positives on this ship are the adult only pool area, main dining room, My Time Dining, the ice skating show and the Elvis impersonator show was surprisingly very entertaining. The not so good things are the Windjammer Cafe, condition of the room fixtures and the rock hard bed. The Windjammer serves the exact same nonappetizing food daily at lunch. We opted for lunch in the dining room which was very good.

Disembarking for the islands was the easiest of any cruise we have taken. No lines and no tenders! All 4 islands Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao and St Marteen are docked.

We also found it refreshing that we were not constantly being asked to have a picture taken, unlike Carnival. 

Disembarktion was smooth and efficient. Relax and enjoy, no ship will be perfect and a day on the ship is better than a day in the office!

Ship Quality

Overall cleanliness excellent, but the room furnishings are worn and tired. The bed was like a board.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Location is perfect. We were only port side at St Marteen. Furnishings worn. Bed rock hard. Carry some travel Febreeze and that keeps any foul bathroom odors away.

Ship tip

Odd number cabins will be port side at Bonaire, Aruba and Curaçao. Even number at St. Marteen.

carnival has to make a extra buck since they don't charge high fares somehow...😉
