Review summary

Ship was a little fuller than I would’ve liked but overall Cruise was great we loved the 4 days at sea. We loved Aruba. We love the private island day in Labadee.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We showed up at the time we were given and it was a breeze we basically walked right on the ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Main dining room service was great. Did not eat at specialty restaurants. Buffets were pretty good too in the Windjammer.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Pools were very crowded ship sailed at about 80% capacity. Did not do rock climbing wall or any of those activities.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Mamma Mia was amazing. Wish they had more nighttime entertainment instead they repeat the same entertainment night after night for comedians etc. enjoyed the live band in dazzles DiDiS group.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room Steward Denny was great I was getting a stiff neck and he went and got me two feather pillows the room wasn’t cool enough so he called and got that taken care of as well. If you told the dining room staff you were trying to make a show they made sure you got through your dinner quickly they were all great.

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We had an inside balcony at the back of the ship under the putt putt golf course was very quiet however if you went out on your balcony you were looking at the people across the way you could also see the ocean from there.

Ship tip

Even though you have to make reservations for all shows and entertainment if you do standby you usually always make it in. So don’t sweat it. Also they do not have omelettes stations however if you go up to the counter where they make waffles you can request specialty omelettes or eggs.

Ports of call

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5
Love the beach day here, your drink card works on the island and they serve lunch to you, nice relaxing day.

Oranjestad, Aruba

5 out of 5
We rented 4 x 4 from George’s short walk from the ship, were able to drive the entire island and go and ride on the beach dunes on the west side of the island. It was a great day!

Willemstad, Curacao

4 out of 5
We rented a car here. this island is not as beautiful as Aruba but had some pretty amazing beaches just very long drives to get to them. A lot of this island seems to be desert like.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Super easy
