Review summary

I am a true believer that your experience is what you make of it! We came right after Hurricane Fiona and even though you could tell here and there it was still paradise! The ship, the workers, the excursions to our fellow cruisers were a delight!

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Embarkation was easy peasy! Quick and Organized!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

I will start off by saying that I am an EXTREMELY picky eater. Cruise food to me is just meh. We did the buffet most mornings and evenings. My husband seemed to enjoy, so all is well. Cucina del Capitano was not worth eating. We actually went downstairs to get a salad from the bar afterwards. Fahrenheit 555 was PHENOMENAL!!! We will eat there from here on out if available! I cannot brag enough on the food, the service or the atmosphere! The biggest suggestion i can offer is PLEASE BRING BACK COKE PRODUCTS!!!!!

Guy's Burger Joint

Guy's Burger is your hometown burger joint! You know what to expect and that is comforting!

Your Time Dining

5 out of 5

Your time is great for those who doesn't like a schedule on vacation!

Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse

5 out of 5

I cannot rave about 555 Steakhouse enough!!! A night to dress up and feel special with the atmosphere. The wait staff was exceptional and very accommodating! The food is top notch!

Cucina del Capitano

2 out of 5

I am not sure if we just had an off night but the food was terrible! My husband and I were not able to finish and opted to go downstairs to the buffet to get a salad. I did like the option to get a glass of wine without having to buy the bottle though. The atmosphere was cute though.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

This cruise was a laid back one for us so I cannot fairly rate the activities since we just wanted to relax. We were in our room and in bed by 730-800 every night.

Sunrise Casino

1 out of 5

Why is smoking allowed in the casino? Especially when you have to walk through the casino to get to the other side of the ship.....

Entertainment

4 out of 5

We only listened to the rock band and they were ok but again we were not up late so.......

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Our room stewardess Lillian was amazing! It was my birthday while on the ship and she made me feel special. She always had a smile on her face (you can tell by her eyes, even though she was wearing a mask) and she always made it a point to ask how our day/night/excursion was and if we needed anything.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

The ship's layout is a little awkward but once you figured it out it was good. The ship I believe was clean as much as could be expected. I never once noticed anyone not working their tails off!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The room was perfect! We had plenty of room and Lillian kept us clean as a whistle! There was one hiccup in the bathroom where the water was coming back up out of the drain but it was addressed and the issue was resolved.
