Review summary

We had a wonderful time and can't wait for our next cruise! It was so worth the extra anxiety of traveling now. The ship was around 50% capacity so no crowds, elevators were fast ,service was excellent. I would tell anyone who is hesitant about cruising now to go for it. I don't think you'd regret it.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We didn't do any specialty restaurants but all the complimentary food was good! Not enough time to try everything and we tried! The buffet was open for dinner but pretty limited in choices.

Meridian Restaurant

Food was good. Only complaint was the complimentary steak. It was thin and tough

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We didn't participate in much but there was always something to attend. The pools were packed on sea days even at 50% capacity. Same with hot tubs.

Entertainment

Every entertainer on this ship was fabulous! From the theater to the groups to the piano bar to the violinist! The One Night Only show was just amazing don't miss it!

Ship tip

Take time to explore the ship. It's big and I'm not sure we saw everything!

Ports of call

Willemstad, Curacao

5 out of 5
Highlight of our cruise! The color of the water here is just gorgeous! We went to a resort on Mambo Beach. Awesome snorkeling.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
This is a beautiful port and we just stayed and enjoyed the pool and swim up bar! Lots of shopping here! The grounds are very well kept with lots of plants and unusual flowers.

La Romana, Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
Our snorkeling excursion through Carnival was canceled so we booked the Catalina Island excursion. Beautiful beach. Probably wouldn't want to venture out alone at this port.

Oranjestad, Aruba

5 out of 5
We went to a private resort within walking distance of the port. Nice beaches and we were able to feed the flamingos.

We were on this same cruise. I agree it was wonderful and so great to be back on a cruise.

I believe it was the second sea day and then on Thursday. We didn't participate so I might be wrong.

What an ideal vacation, can't ask for better! Now is definitely a great time to cruise and take advantage of everything the ship has to offer while capacity is still low.
