Review summary
The Good: Entertainment was good. Staff friendly. We had a grand suite with extended balcony which was exceptional. Excursions were great even though they made a booking mistake and had to move our excursion in Freeport to a later time. They credited us 25% of the excursion.
The Not-So-Good: Small, older ship. Food just ok. Desserts barely ok. Pool was so crowded it's like being in your bathtub with 3 people. If you don't drink alcohol, don't bother with the soda package...you have to go to the bar every time you want a soda and you're treated like second class for it. We should've just stuck with the lemonade.

Ship tip
If you can afford it, get the grand suite with extended balcony. Pool is too crowded to go to, but being able to lounge on our balcony and have room service delivered was so relaxing.
