Review summary

Beautiful ship, great food, good entertainment. After embarkation day places got busy, but never crowded. Perfect ship for adults, not as much to do for kids/families.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Little information given far in advance for planning purposes, but once at the terminal, it was quick and easy.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Buffet and main dining were fantastic. Specialty dining was not worth the additional cost. Drink service was slow (I assume post-pandemic staffing isn’t helping) and cocktails were waaay too strong to enjoy.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Other passengers found there were not enough activities for children compared to Royal Caribbean. Perfect ship for adults. Our fault for booking during spring break with all the families.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Excellent overall. Guest violinist wasn’t Lindsey Sterling and some of the vocalists tried a little too hard, but we enjoyed it nonetheless.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Despite drink service being slow (again, I assume everyone is hurting here), the crew worked hard.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Beautiful ship. Large, but well designed and didn’t feel “too big.”

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Ship tip

If an event (especially in the Club) looks popular, try to get there early, it fills up.

Ports of call

Tortola, British Virgin Islands

5 out of 5

Basseterre, St. Kitts

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

4 out of 5

San Juan, Puerto Rico

4 out of 5
Ship came in late in afternoon, so diving excursion was limited by daylight.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Quick and easy.

I think this is the first time I’ve heard someone say drinks are too strong. Most people would consider that a plus. Glad otherwise it was enjoyable.

Appreciate your detailed feedback. Usually the drink complaints have been that the drinks were too weak. Interesting that you had the opposite situation. Glad you still managed to enjoy your cruise.
