Review summary

We had a wonderful, relaxing vacation. There was plenty to do when we didn't want to relax, but there were plenty of places on board where we could chill if that's what we chose to do. Entertainment was great and entertainment staff was very interactive. Food was good although we didn't typically eat at the lido buffet. The only down side to the cruise was the bad weather in La Romana, Dominican Republic and our shore excursion was canceled due to lightning. We made the best of it since the cruise line can't control the weather. We just ended up with a quiet relaxing day on board instead. Would probably still like to see Dominican Republic but will most likely choose a cruise that goes to the new Amber Cove instead. Loved Aruba and would look into flying there in the future for a stay in Aruba outside of cruising.

Our cabin steward, Marvin, was awesome! Also our dining room servers, Ricardo, I Made, and Pranata took really good care of us.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Everywhere we went on the ship, crew members were always cleaning and working on the ship. It's not a new ship and it does show some wear but overall, it was kept in very good condition.
