Review summary

There was a “Swingers Takeover” group on this cruise. They made up half of the boat population. It was quite a distraction and by the end of the cruise, there was no subtlety. We definitely would’ve chosen different dates if we had known this. It wasn’t right to subject the whole boat to that.

Spa

Spa service was great(massage) but the push to buy products is annoying and a big turn-off!

Layout was fine. The common areas were always clean...bathrooms were spotless and continually cleaned!

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Cruise rooms are always small but there were 2 of us and it was plenty of space. The bathroom was even a little bigger than I expected. There was a continual overflow of water on the floor though, every time someone showered.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

We left with the early crew. Carried our own luggage off the boat. It’s the first time I’ve done this and will only donit from now on. It was so fast and easy! We were called to leave the boat at 7:15 and we’re at our car by 7:35.
