Review summary

Took this cruise as a Girls trip. The ship decor could use an update but this did not affect our fun. Boarding the ship and getting to our room was super simple. The staff was very helpful and always nice. The main dining room and buffet food was lack luster at best. Just no real flavor. The drinks had lots of fun options and fast service, but the alchemy bar had the BEST drinks. We also loved the piano bar with Clay!!! Both stops were a great time, and the 5 night cruise length was the perfect amount of time.

Not as many excursion options and many had a further drive to reach them. Shopping at the port was good though and once we made it to the beach it was very nice
