Review summary

We enjoyed the cruise and the ports. The ship was beautiful with interesting decor. There was always something for everyone to do whether you wanted to be active or more laid back.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Quick and easy! We were able to drop our carry on luggage in our stateroom and go explore the ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

There was a good variety of food and of course always more than enough.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

I enjoyed the main pool and the solarium. Although sometimes it was too warm in solarium and smelled too much like chlorine. I played bingo and my husband enjoyed the walking track and fitness center.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

The shows for the most part were good. The headliners were exceptional - Rebel (musicians) and Matt Johnson (magician). The production shows were also very good. The singer headliners, both female were good but not our cup of tea.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

All the staff and crew were wonderful and went above and “Beyond” to make our trip fantastic.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Overall the ship was beautiful and after a day we knew where things were. All areas were in great shape and clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

We enjoyed the cabin. Love the new infinite verandas. The bathrooms were actually spacious. Room was very comfortable. Look for the hidden storage.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

5 out of 5

Cartagena, Colombia

1 out of 5

We did not do excursion but heard from those who did that the town was extremely dirty. We got off and just went to port where there were parrots, flamingos and monkeys. That was good.

Yes, Cartagena has big piles of trash lying around everywhere, poverty obvious. But, we loved the tour to the World Class Aviary there. I heard others did some neat tours too. Thanks so much for a great review.
