Review summary

Most nights the food was great. Staff was friendly and respectfull. Buffet on Lido deck was always good. They make great omlets and sandwich counter made good sandwiches and pastry counter always had great desserts and jello. Our cruise director,Simon London was excellent, entertaining and funny.Tanya, the jewelry expert was excellent and helpful everywhere on the ship and on shore.Ports of call were very beautiful (Aruba,Bonnaire and Grand Turk). Hope to return to same posts at some point. We enjoyed this 8 day cruise.We purchased more art works from the art show which were also entertaining & informative.

Shows were very basic.Same singers & dancers every night.They were very loud with bright strobe lighting going out into the audience's faces. No story behind each show. They need more vegas type or show type shows.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

The mattresses were very soft and lumpy and not very comfortable.Cabin was kept very clean by our cabin steward Jayson.It was almost directly across from the cleaner's utility room.Every morning was very loud clanking of silverware,glasses & dishes which woke us up before 8am. Cabin was small but had sufficient drawer & closet space.There was a couple of large rust spots on our balcony.Carpet was a little dirty & stained. Could use new carpeting and new mattresses.Also they need to put some kind of fan in the cabin for the A/C.

Ship tip

Take a fan.Enjoy the ride.

Thanks for the review! Your sail date isn’t showing up correctly, I was in this cabin right after you on the May 1 sailing and I 100% agree with you about the utility room. It was always loud and you don’t see that on the deck plans, lol :)

We’ve asked for fans from the steward before and glad you enjoyed this itinerary. We would like to do similar one soon.
