Review summary

It was the perfect, affordable, getaway. There wasn't anything out of the ordinary on this cruise - if you are looking for that, find a newer ship. This is a great ship for more affordable cruising and being content with a few shows and pools, with a couple short stops along the way.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
SO quick an easy to get on the ship! We arrived right at our loading time and were on the ship within 20 minutes

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food was great! I have a gluten allergy and the chef was INCREDIBLE about accommodating me and ensuring there was no gluten or cross contamination. Every night at dinner, they would take my order for the next day so that they could prepare something GF for me. I even got fried Calamari!!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We loved the pool - the waiters at the pool were great, and never let me go without a drink in my hand. I highly recommend tipping in cash in the beginning of the week - these people work tirelessly and deserve our appreciation, especially in cash.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Stage shows were great! Nothing overly impressive but lovely quick shows before dinner each night.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Staff is always incredible. We loved our waiters poolside and at dinner.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
This ship is definitely a bit older without bells and whistles but clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Cabin size was fine - the only complaint we had was that there wasn't great air flow - the room was definitely cool, but we will remember to bring a fan next time.

Ship tip

The trip is quick - this is perfect if you want a quick trip. I felt a little rushed though with only one day at sea and short stops at each location.

Disembarkation

2 out of 5
Disembarkation was a bit messy. There wasn't good information about how and when to leave and everyone just left at the same time
