Review summary

I celebrated my 60th on this trip and was given gift cards from Essy our room steward. She was very pleasant.

Our excursion to Blue Lagoon VIP swim with the dolphins (although rather unorganized at the port) turned out to be the highlight of our cruise.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

your staff was very helpful and always seemed happy.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

our cabins tables were sticky, and it seemed the ship is rather old

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

the bed was extremely comfortable, and the cabin was adequate. This was our first time with a balcony, which we enjoyed very much. The only issue was the sticky tables.

Ship tip

Best to stay on the ship in Freeport. There is nothing to do, and the hop on/off bus was a waste of money. Unless you go to the beach which we didn't have enough time in port to do that.
