Staff always cleaning

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We had five in the ov room with bunks and a cot. Our tip is opening one suitcase at a time before putting it under the bed for dirty laundry and standing the others against the wall. And even though there are many hangers we always bring more since there is abundant hanging space.

Ship tip

Don't miss eating breakfast or lunch in the Havana bar from the Italian or Asian kitchen or just bring your buffet food and enjoy the views from the back of the boat!

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

Easy to get there. Recommend booking and prepaying for their parking garage which is Super convenient!

Oranjestad, Aruba

5 out of 5
Saw the whole island plus beach time on the discover Aruba tour. Aruba aloe! Great restaurants in town walkable to ship!

Willemstad, Curacao

5 out of 5
Tour with beach time is awesome! Curaçao liquor, bar/food service at the beach. Nice big Starbucks in town not far from ship! Most restaurants only have outdoor seating. Floating bridge and ferrys not to be missed!

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
Beach and shops are literally steps from the ship! Probably the most beautiful water! Beer buckets with ice served by beach vendors! You can rent a beach umbrella $20/day! Also a giant pool to enjoy right behind the beach!
