Other than losing my passport in San Juan, this was a great cruise! Lots of sun, three of the four ports were places we've not visited before. Lots of places on board to sit and watch people.

Review summary

We really had a good time! We enjoyed ourselves, going on a trip and letting someone else drive.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Embarkation was relatively easy to navigate. By the time we got there they were already boarding the ship, so people were moving right along.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

We always like to sit in the area where they do the trivia games. If we feel like it, we can participate, if not, we just watch the people on the ship. We even won one of the trivia games and got one of the famed "gold colored plastic ship on a stick" awards.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Our cabin steward was great! He was responsive when we asked questions and he made sure any requests we did have were fulfilled quickly.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

This was an aft-facing cabin with a wrap-around balcony. We try to book these whenever we can as the view is wonderful from these balconies.

Ports of call

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

3 out of 5

We're not really sun worshipers, so the cruise lines' private islands don't really hold much appeal to us. We normally stay on board at these port calls and take advantage of a nearly empty ship.

We stayed in the port area and just wandered around.
