Review summary

This was a nice cruise for a quick getaway. I much prefer longer cruises just because it's a little more relaxed but I would do this one again. Wish there were longer hours in Key West. Loved the ship, love Cozumel- especially at night. Would love to be able to try this ship again once she becomes the Radiance.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We choose a late embarkation time because being on the ship first thing isn't important to us. We had no line and got right onboard and went right to our cabin.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Didnt go to the main dining room or specialty restaurants but the lido area was ALWAYS crowded. The way it is laid out makes it hard to get through and you waited for everything on lido.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Had fun doing quest, mini golf, going down the slide for the first time on a cruise ship.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Loved the band in the casino but was pretty loud in our room right above it.

Children's Programs

No children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Room steward Bagus was lovely. Always was able to call us by name when he saw us. Suan on the lido deck was super nice. Even got the crew to come sing to my boyfriend on his birthday at breakfast. Always remembered us when he saw us up there.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Loved the colors in the atrium and the overall decorations. Lido was poorly laid out. But everything seemed well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Cabin was shorter in length than on the other ships I've been on. Location of the room is great but they had a live band in the casino right under our room so it was very noisy while they were playing but overall great.

Ship tip

Check out the secret decks at the front of decks 6 and 7

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
First time here was very nice. We really enjoyed going to the bayview market and the beach.

Key West, Florida

4 out of 5
The hours we were here really sucked. But we had a nice time just walking around. Visited the southernmost point that's the only thing we really had planned.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Love cozumel. Stayed on the ship for awhile to enjoy the hot tub and slide since we were in port till 10pm. Got off and shopped and enjoyed big waves hitting against the pier.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very smooth process.
