Review summary

The ship was about 1/2 full, so no long lines, no craziness. The staff seemed genuinely happy to see everyone and were always cleaning and mostly smiling. We had great seas, good weather, good food. The comedy from Tim Young, Jeff Arcuri and ? Stone (I don't remember his first name!!) was amazingly funny.

Food and Dining

We had dinner and sea day brunches in the dining room. Service was as good as always, the choices were plentiful and delicious. I was missing the "port of call" dishes, but not disappointed with the offerings.

Ship Quality

Only criticism is the lack of tables in the showroom makes it difficult to enjoy a drink.

Tarak was a great steward, always remembered my name and asked how we were. Only 2nd time we've had a balcony (first time was too windy to enjoy) and we really enjoyed the sunrise and sunset views.

Little disappointed in the amount of water space roped off for swimming and snorkeling. Then $26 for 2 Beach chairs and umbrella far from the shore line☹️. We turned around and got back on the ship. This was our 2nd trip and had previously done a great tour with lunch. The walk to the beach was beautiful and my hubby caught a great pic of a hummingbird right next to us!

The weather was beautiful, 80s & partly sunny, the tour bus was big and comfortable. Our driver, Mr.G, did a good job and Mel was a great guide to the ruins.
