Review summary

Great cruise for the price with excellent ports of call.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Fastest I have ever experienced. From arrival to the port and setting foot on board...15 minutes tops and 1 hour ahead of our scheduled arrival time.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food and service were excellent. Ship was full so we did have slight waits in between courses but it left us time to recap our awesome day with our friends.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
This ship was smaller than others I have been on. Good thing I love to lay around on the ample deck and enjoy a good book and the sun. Others in our group were disappointed in the lack of activities and "new" things to see on board.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Not one problem! All were friendly and helpful

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Design was fine, nothing exciting. There were a few areas that were "rusty" looking and in disrepair. I am sure the ship was clean but that isn't the first thing you think of while on board

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Size was fine. It was interior at the very back of the ship. Service was excellent. Our room was always clean and we were greeted by name with a smile every time. The location was unfortunate for us. This cabin is directly above the Comedy Club. We normally go to bed around 10pm. The Comedy Club had shows that went until 11 and 12 nightly. We didn't need to go to the show we could hear it all in our room!

Ship tip

Keep the ship in perspective- it was built many years ago and doesn't have the activities that some of the newer ships have.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

5 out of 5
Had a fun time in town the night before the cruise left.

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

4 out of 5
Clean and fun but you will need to tender to the port. It took about 3 hours to get off the ship and on the island. Still lots of fun.

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
Such a fun atmosphere. Great amenities and a beautiful beach right off the ship

Willemstad, Curacao

5 out of 5
Found a quiet beach that was beautiful, enjoyed the white sands and friendly people. Cab fare was high and there are lots of large rocks as you walk into the water.

Oranjestad, Aruba

5 out of 5
BEAUTIFUL beach. Short cab ride. It was a little hard to get beach chairs and umbrellas.

Disembarkation
