It was a very relaxing cruise with lots of fun things to see and do.

Embarkation

Very easy.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We did the anytime dining and liked it very much, the only thing was you had to go to deck 5 to check in before you went to deck 3 to sit down. We like Ji Ji's Asian restaurant very much.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The track on this ship is a little small.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room steward was awesome (Putu), he went above and beyond what are expectations were. We were in cabin 1345.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everything was clean and maintained well. The layout the Liquid Lounge was kind of weird not having tables and seats only having chairs.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The bed on this ship was very comfortable, but not very much room to hang your clothes or put your clothes away.

Ship tip

I brought some of my own hangers because there is Never Enough in the closets.

Oranjestad, Aruba

5 out of 5
In this port we did the catamaran snorkeling tour. It was a lot of fun.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
We did a back-to-back Cruise so we only had to walk off the ship and then they brought us back on the ship. It was a very long day because the government did a shutdown and there was only two TSA people checking us off the ship. Not that great of an experience for my first back-to-back Cruise.
