Review summary

We loved the itinerary. Two and a half days at sea gave us plenty of time to get the lay of "the land" on the ship. Three consecutive port days had us hopping but we loved it. Then two days to relax and decompress before heading home. Perfect

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Easy peasy. Took Brightline Train to Lauderdale and Uber trip over to ship. On ship about an hour after arriving at train statio

Plunge pool is a great way to get away from usually crowed main pool

Ship Quality

Loved the layout that allows you to find some open spaces to relax and chill

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Not sure why so many people complain about Infinite veranda. We loved it and the extra space it gave us. The noise from opening and closing wasn't bad at all.

Ship tip

Check out the Eden for lunch. It's not an up-charge (unlike dinner). Mostly paninis and salads but perfect for lunch

Shore diving is a must if you are a diver. Check out the Dive Bus if you prefer to book independently

Another two tank shore dive. Booked independently with Buddy Watersports a 5 minute walk from the pier. Ended up being a solo diver with a guide at no extra cost. Salt Pier is a must for any diver.
