Review summary

The cruise was a well deserved vacation. It would have been better with nicer weather but you can’t do anything about that I think I prefer the conquest class ships over the vista class ships. I have to wait and see about the Mardi Gras that is booked for 2024

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Fun squad we’re great. Mel the bingo host is great I think she is well on her way to become a great cruise director. The cruise director on this cruise was “cookie” he was good but I think that’s because his staff were good

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Room steward Agas was fantastic. Always working with a hello and good morning whenever he saw us. Kept the room up to par all of the personnel on board were great the ship was clean wait staff in the dining room were great and the shows the wait staff did were fun

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

The layout was ok. The elevators are horrible and seem to take forever

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Room was comfortable enough we had 3 adults in there we could have used more drawer space the room was just above the engine room and the area were the ropes tie off the back of the ship so it is very noisy at times it was an aft facing balcony in family harbor would not do this area again

Ports of call

Willemstad, Curacao

4 out of 5

Did the see the city and beach excursion started out ok say some nice stuff in the city then we went to beach and it got cloudy and started to rain. We left the beach when the bus got there about 45 minutes after the rain started. Noticed the drainage In the city was horrible streets and parking lots flooded after about 1 hrs of rain
