Review summary

We spent 2 months doing 4 back to backs on this ship. We loved it, and got to know many of the excellent staff.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

As a WFPB eater, the ship was mostly accommodating. They could use a little bit of work in some areas though.

The Salty Dog Grill

1 out of 5

Do not go near the veggie burger. IT is the most disgusting thing. The other vegan alternative is the black bean and sweet potato buritto and that is horrible too.

World Fresh Marketplace

4 out of 5

Many helpful chefs, but you have to ask for things that you need.

Skywalkers Nightclub

5 out of 5

Great in the day time if you want to sit quietly and have a great view. It is a great disco at night, and we spent a lot of time up there!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Lots of trivia and a few good night time game shows.

Lotus Spa

5 out of 5

Although pricy, the staff is amazing, and they won't push you into purchasing anything that you don't want to buy.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Pretty good overall

Explorer's Lounge

4 out of 5

The staff is excellent here. The sound system is extremely loud though, so it is difficult to discuss answers of trivia or to participate in games without yelling at the top of your lungs.

Club Fusion

3 out of 5

I think that this venue is really awkward in the set up. It is not fun to do any trivia, or to see any show here.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Everyone was amazing.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

A bit dated, and a lot of things were a "work in progress' such as non working faucets and elevators.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

We upgraded to this premium balcony on the 10th floor. We were originally supposed to be in R329, which is directly under the "Salty Dog". We did NOT want to imagine ourselves underneath the sound of constant scraping chairs from the floor above, so we bidded for the upgrade! Stateroom C323, the balcony is a lot deeper and has a partial cover, so that you are not in complete view of the onlooking floor above. Overall, the Caribe Deck is known for its spacious balconies, offers a touch of luxury and extra room to spread out. These balconies are often great for hosting private gatherings or simply indulging in moments of solitude while taking in the fresh sea breeze. Staying on the Caribe Deck can provide a sense of exclusivity and a high level of comfort.
