Review summary

I enjoyed visiting 4 islands. I took excursions at all the islands. A tour guides were engaging and professional.

There were activities and shows performed on the ship throughout the cruise. I had difficulty keeping up with all the activities and shows.

There was plenty of food, which was good. I especially enjoyed the omelet stations where you could selective the ingredients.

Overall a very enjoyable cruise.

Cabin / Stateroom

Cabin was great. The balcony stateroom allowed me to see the arrival and departures from each island. The staff made pillow animals each night.

Ship tip

To enjoy all the activities on the ship you should highlight the activities on the daily schedule so that you don't miss an activity that you want to attend. Make sure you hydrate the entire cruise.
