Review summary

It was a great way to travel with an 18 month old. The staff were the best making him happy and comfortable. Very glad we got a balcony and they put a crib on our room. Just couldn't swim and had to book an excursion to get off the ship.

Ship tip

It was fun with a baby but I wish we had known he couldn't swim in the pools and covid regulations said he couldn't leave the ship unless on a tour.

Not very pretty, couldn't walk to and beach, downtown just felt cheap and touristy. The town felt really run down.
