Review summary

We had a fabulously relaxing time aboard ship. We ate too much, laughed a ton, danced and sang. I would recommend this cruise to anyone who wants a quick trip to unwind, especially couples who are busy and want time to reconnect without all of the outside world distractions.

The cruise director, dj, and comedians were great. The dancers/singers gave a lackluster performance.

Did not have children with us.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Arisara was an outstanding room steward, can't say enough about her impeccable service and demeanor. Yudi is a fantastic server. He went above and beyond to make our dining experience fantastic.

Ship Quality

It fit our needs

Ship tip

The app is crucial. Set meeting locations and times with people in your group (we've become so dependent on cell phones, that we've forgotten how to keep track of one another without it).

Went on the wine tour excursion. Larissa was an amazing tour guide and Fernando was an excellent driver. I felt safe and informed. Loved learning about the area and enjoyed the tastings provided.
