Overall, a good cruise with a great itinerary, although ship is a bit old. Ship was clean, though. Service is excellent.
Embarkation

Seamless, fast, no problems whatsoever
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Main dining room food and service was very good. Buffet was rather small, but food was good. Water tasted bad in buffet, though (perhaps wasn't filtered). Water in dining room and bars tasted just fine.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
No rock-climbing walls, small pools (2) - only alternative activities were water slide, miniature golf, ping pong. (Didn't notice basketball court, either.)
Entertainment
3 out of 5
DJs were good. Stage shows seemed to cater to younger crowd. Would have appreciated some classical/cultural music somewhere on ship. Musicians in Atrium lobby were not very good.
Children's Programs
We were a party of 2 senior adults.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Excellent service from all areas, especially cabin steward and dining room.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Liked the layout and design, but ship needs to be updated/renovated. Areas were clean, although ship is beginning to show its age.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Cabin was large, comfortable, with French doors. Everything was always clean. Could not regulate air conditioning, though.
Ship tip
Expect old fashioned decor, but neat and clean. Small pools. No water park for kids. Overall, a good cruise, but not spectacular.
Convenient for those who live nearby, but crowded and a bit confusing after disembarking due to others arriving for the next cruise while others are leaving. A bit of a wait to leave the port.
Poor area, but very nice to visit. Need to take a tender to reach shore. To be safe, we were advised to stay in shopping area nearest ship, otherwise go on an excursion. Not safe to go off on your own.
Took an excursion to Playa Uvas. Beach break with unlimited drinks (including alcohol) and unlimited buffet. Beautiful water. They supplied beach chars and umbrellas. Very small pool, though. Not a modern resort-more island style.
Easy disembarkation for us as VIFP members. Do not take your luggage off on your own. People were finding it hard to take big luggages down on 2 separate escalators. Elevators were available, but small and not many.
