Shorter trip than what I’d like but spent a lot of time at Alchemy, and being out and about enjoying the ship. It was fun and relaxing.
Embarkation

From entrance to the bar, it took 10 minutes. There was only one cruise ship in town, which is probably why it was hassle free.

Food and Dining

The food overall was okay.
MDR was excellent but I only ate there on the last night.
Buffet is pretty mid and just average. There’s a lot of better options, honestly.
Right outside of the Lido Marketplace you can check out Guy’s Burgers and the tacos at Blue Iguana. Both food joints are amazing but expect to wait a good while during lunch. I prefer eating later because the lines die down. Tip of advice: Guy’s Burgers has two lines.
Seafood Shack has some amazing lobster rolls, and on day one they had 2lbs crab plate for $15.
Reserving for Cucina del Capitano is a must. The food there is just absolutely incredible.
The steakhouse was excellent. I wish I could have finished my steak but I got full pretty quickly.
Last but not least, the pizza is delicious and they’re always open late.
Alchemy Bar

Conveniently located at the Ocean Plaza. Got to enjoy karaoke, 80s music, and lots of entertainment while having some interesting drinks. The bartenders on this sailing were absolutely fun and very personable. I was very sad when I said goodbye.

Ship Quality

Ship was recently dry docked in April of 2022 so the ship feels brand new.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
It’s a good sized interior. If you want to get a quick a view outside, you don’t have to go very far. There are doors that take you out to the “secret” decks. When exiting the room, just walk to the front, take a left and at the end of the hallway, there will be a door to your right with a window. Just be careful on windy days. On this particular deck, it extends a little further on top of the bridge, so you get a similar view to what the captain sees from the wings.
They were doing their best to move everyone quickly. Sucks that people on the ship are rude and will sit on the stairs knowing full well it’s both a safety hazard and inconvenient for everyone.
