Review summary

It was a wonderful experience for our first cruise. We will definitely be looking forward to another cruise. The interior stateroom was better than I expected. Their was plenty of storage for our clothes and suitcases. We unpacked and it felt like home. The bed was a little firm, but the linens were excellent. Breakfast and lunch were the best meals with the best choices.

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Breakfast and lunch were fantastic. The food in the main dining room at night was good. A couple of nights we would have liked the option of a buffet similar to lunch time, but that was not available. I thought all cruise ships had the midnight buffet, but not this one.

Pool area and deck area were the only disappointment. The lounges and dining areas were wonderful.

Dunn's River Falls was the only attraction. It was cool to climb the falls. The beach area at this location was not great. We went on the Trimarin Snorkeling/Dunn's River Falls excursion. We loved the sail boat. The snorkeling was disappointing. I expected to see more fish swimming around the reef.

We rented a car and drove to Rum Point. It was great to get away from the crowds from all the cruise ships. Again I was disappointed that we did not see more colorful fish when snorkeling.

Pros: The ship was very clean and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Cons: The pool area was disappointing. The two pools are small. Their is limited deck area and not enough deck chairs. It would be nice to have deck chairs available on front and back of ship also.
