Review summary

I hope we're be blessed to do this again. I just retired .My husband and I are 66 years young . And this has just been the best thing we've ever done. Life is wonderful .I never had so much fun in my life.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Main dining was good. But the breakfast buffet was delicious. Burgers and fries, and I don't usually eat burgers but was great. I wish the fruit was more in season. But you can't go wrong with pineapples 😋. And Ice-cream.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Jacuzzi, pool was also great . Shot pool, went to the casino. Watch as they played bingo. Line dancing was a lot of fun, it was only one that I knew. But it was fun trying to do the ones that I didn't know, and it was other people that were trying to learn too. Which made it that much fun.Oh and the all white party was so much fun . Everyday it was something to do .on the ship and off. I felt like I'm living my best life.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Music will blow your mind. From the DJs, to the ladies playing the violins. They were so good . I wanted to hear them every night they played. 80s party was amazing " Sweet Caroline " I get chills just thinking about it .comedy was very good it was three different guys. Well to be honest one guy was not that good he was from the Steinfeld show. And liked if you missed the first show. You can catch the next show that same night.

Children's Programs

My husband and I. No kids

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Every one was great at the bar some was better than others. The room steward was was wonderful, amazing, friendly, great service. Always addressed Us by name. Every morning when I seen him he made me feel good inside. Always greeted you with a smile 😃.on our last day I told him I wish could take him home with us. Have you ever experienced someone that made you feel happy to be a live. What a beautiful person. The ones that walk around with drinks, I love them too. So nice and friendly they stop and talk to you like we're friends. I stayed loss. They always help me find my way and the ones that helped me more than once we would have a good laugh.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Very Very clean. I wish some of the hotels I stayed in the night before we arrived to the ship was half as clean. Beautiful ship .

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Beautiful, clean, very cozy. But the first night our bed was so hard. That morning I asked could we get a mattress topper. And he got us one and for 8 or7 nights we slept very well. And of course the balcony is the only way to go. Some days my feet had swelling, and I could sit on the balcony and still enjoy myself.

Ship tip

Got to get the room with a Baloney and let the Magic do what it do!!!

Oranjestad, Aruba

5 out of 5
So much fun, excursion we did that guy was so much fun a group of us on the bus. We went all around Aruba and then he took us two the beach and just let us do what we wanted for two hours. We could get food and drinks. He was very knowledgeable. And very nice, lots of fun if we ever go back. I want to do the same thing. Or what ever he's doing will go.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
That wasn't so good trying to find my luggage took 45 minutes if not longer and some of the people was not nice at all. People were asking where should they go and the answer was go read the sign. One guy was very nice. I told my number which was 16 and he said oh your luggage should have been out he asked me what color was my luggage and I told him it was lavender. He found it and said it should be out next. And was helping others as well. He was very kind. I wish could have given him a tip but things was so crazy. With people who wanted to get back that's all this women kept saying get back not trying to help or answer a question and would look at you with a smar on her face.

Good for you both,! My wife and I have been cruising since 2013. We were hooked since that first cruise. Cruising is fun and gets rid of all the stress from work and life. Many happy future cruises to you both:)
