Review summary

Really enjoyed the Caribbean would highly recommend, it’s a lovely cruise very relaxing long sea days. I think you have to do more on the ship unless you like to read a lot but we met some great people.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Easy, quick no fuss

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We used a mix of both the Belvedere and the MDR. Service was a little slow in the restaurant but the food was faultless in both areas.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We only really used the Fitness Centre and fitness classes but these were very well maintained.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Very mixed entertainment, Headliners weren’t very good we had seen the same shows last year on the Oriana. I think they need to get some proper singers as well. Frankie Glitzman was very good as were the Right Duo, Waves and various others. Mel Mellors, Barry White impersonator not to our taste at all.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Not bad a little manic the walkway stopped working twice which put some pressure on the buses. The queues to return off where silly for such an operation.
