Review summary

I sailed on the extended 8 day itinerary. It was very relaxing. Plenty of time to unwind, and rejuvenate. There isn't much in the way of theme nights, like it used to be. There was a Hot White dance party. A Halloween party. (Extremely short! Only half an hour long). And the 80's throwback party. That was all of the themes for an 8 day cruise. But I did especially enjoy a night at the movies on their IMAX movie screen. And the overall vibe had a wonderful friendly inclusion to it, thanks to the magnificent, energetic, inspirational, very funny cruise director. Our cousin Cookie! He definitely stands out above every other cruise director that I personally have ever seen. And elevated the experience to another level. Every single day announcing via the ships public address, 'Incase no one has told you today, I love you. And there's absolutely nothing you can do about it.' Cookie, I love you too!

Cabin / Stateroom

I sailed solo on this particular cruise. The cabin I got was unexpectedly very spacious! Very surprised. But it could have used a sofa.

Ship tip

Don't expect a party atmosphere. And the parties that do happen don't last very long.

Yeah Cookie is a great CD, I had the pleasure sailing with him on the horizon back in 2019, he had that deck party so live and fun.
