Review summary

Had fun on the ship and at the ports. Piano Bar was entertaining, especially watching the groupies! Shows were top notch and comedy was great 18+! Breakfast & lunch was much better than the dinners, unless you went to specialty restaurants.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Very efficient, lines looked long, but very quickly processed.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Dinners for formal nights were great, went two other nights there with very good dinner one night, but the other was not so good (Be Selective - if there's nothing that interests you on the menu, don't go that night). Plenty of choices Pizza, burgers till 6 pm, Asian, Italian, Market place had better desserts for lunch than dinner.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Fun Sport Deck and water slides.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Comedy was great, shows very professional, great choreography & costuming. DJ was OK, not enough rock, too much RAP and Latin music!

Children's Programs

No Kids; by the way, very few children were on this cruise which was great!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Stateroom attendant Carter was great! Dining staff and deck attendants (Serenity & Deck 10 Lido were outstanding)

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Easy to get around, wish casino was non-smoking. Would have spent time there if non-smoking. Had many talks with people that said the same. They didn't use the casino either. I used to live 20 minutes from 2 casino's in CT, went there all the time since they had non-smoking sections.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Easy to sleep, mixing cocktails before dinner and watch TV before sleep. Plenty of space and refrigerator was always cold. Safe worked great and very good closet space.

Ship tip

Serenity Deck was great, but more regulation on saving lounges and clam shell beds needs to take place. Watched one group save 3 lounges for 3.5 hours without any attendants placing a 40 minute sticker for others to use! This finally happened after 6 days at sea and a lot of complaints from patrons!!!

Ports of call

Miami, Florida Did not visit port

Oranjestad, Aruba

5 out of 5
Great beaches. Arashi, Catalina, Pal and Eagle.

Kralendijk, Bonaire

4 out of 5
Klein Bonaire was fun snorkling.

Willemstad, Curacao

4 out of 5
Swam with turtles and went to another beach to relax. Very nice tour, then ate lunch on the ship and went shopping at the fort after!

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Too long of a wait. Didn't seem to have their timing together. Once we left the ship, processing took little time, which was great! Ship personnel need more training with their walkie talkies!
