Review summary

A very relaxing cruise with four sea days, which is really amazing. Generous port time and a nice ship.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Smooth, quick, and efficient (and welcoming!)

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
I liked the idea of the four main dining rooms more than the actual execution of it. Some were definitely better than others, and we missed having a usual team of people every night. The steak house specialty restaurant was definitely our best dinner and very enjoyable. Breakfast buffet was always great!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Something for everyone!!

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The main performance shows of the theatre and Eden were amazing. I wish they were featured more. There were too many special singers that were brought in for this week. The magician and comedian were good, but too many solo singers that didn't make it worth attending. Talented, yes. But not a good variety or leaning into the talent on the ship.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Friendly and caring. I honestly had better staff on other cruises, but that's not to say they didn't do their job. It was good and attentive still.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
I liked the ship! It did feel that some spaces (like the Solarium or pool) were smaller than other ships (i.e. Equinox).

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Awesome room! The bathroom was spacious. The room was clean. We did have a small issue with the blinds for the infinite veranda, but after a couple of attempts with the front desk they were able to address it. I liked the infinite veranda.

Ports of call

Oranjestad, Aruba

5 out of 5
Aruba was great!! It's definitely becoming more and more crowded now, but always a good time. Generous time at this port too, which was great.

Kralendijk, Bonaire

4 out of 5
I opted not to do an underwater excursion and go to a beach instead. Even though I have done many excursions before, Bonaire is known more for their water activities. So I'd recommend that instead.

Willemstad, Curacao

5 out of 5
Really liked this port. I did a walking tour, which was great. Went to the Distillery and some shopping. Great experience.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easy and fast!
