Ship experiences

The specialty restaurants were amazing, definitely worth the added expense. The main dining room was good, the brunch was the best. The service was great everywhere. We loved the variety of choices.

Lots of great options. Favorites were Lady Red and Owen Stephen.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Shout out to steward Nyoman. Also to dining staff Rizalino, Johnny “Walker” and Olga in Cucina del Capitano. In the spa, Kirsty and Kara were the best.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Easy to get around and find things. Common areas were clean but often common dining areas were slow to get the tables cleaned and cleared especially during peak times.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Good storage space, very clean. The bed was comfortable. We loved it.

Ship tip

Plan ahead for activities. If you really want to attend something, yet there early and be willing to wait in line.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida Did not visit port

Not enough time

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
Home sweet home excursion was great. We enjoyed the private beach and activities. The hosts were friendly. I wish it was a longer stop.

La Romana, Dominican Republic Did not visit port

It wasn’t very appealing and all the excursions required a one hour bus ride.

Willemstad, Curacao

5 out of 5
We enjoyed shopping and walking around. Bonnie was a great help with the shopping tips and coupons. The island was so beautiful.

Oranjestad, Aruba

5 out of 5
We did a great diving excursion. Shout out to red sail dive shop, dive master Karl, and his team.

Disembarkation
