Review summary

It was OK at best. I'll never go back on this ship. Very small. You can feel every single wave. Lack of things to do made it feel like a very long cruise.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Food was a disappointment at best & disaster at worst

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
The lack of onboard activities was very obvious. If you've sailed ANY other ship, you'll be left wanting.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The band connected to the casino was amazing. The stage show felt very staged and forced. Nothing worth noting about daytime lido deck entertainment as there wasn't much at all.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Some was great, most acted as if they didn't want any interaction

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Ship's layout was very different from most, I'm sure because of how extremely tiny it is.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Was enough room for 2 adults. Pieces were broken or missing but it is an old ship, I guess.

George Town, Grand Cayman Did not visit port

They had to send us to Key West instead. It wasn't enjoyable as I'm ALWAYS there

I'm here often so I typically go local. Skip the tourist traps & go eat at an actual local restaurant
