Review summary

Wonderful and relaxing cruise!!! This is a more adult cruise. There are no water parks for kids though they do have a kids program. I think there were only about 4 or 5 kids on this cruise.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
From hotel room to ship cabin was about 25 minutes. Out of 33 cruises this was the fastest!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The main dining room was great as was the buffet. The only reason I gave a 3 star was Tuscan Grill. Not worth the up charge. I got a better steak on the buffet and our food was cold. My steak was raw in the middle. The only reason we did not send the food back was because it took way too long to get. Definately do Qsine! We did the La Petite Chef dinner show and everything was great!

Ship Quality

Beautiful ship!

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Of all our cruises this cabin was a bit different though we have been on this ship before. The desk was close to the bathroom and when my wife did her makeup it was hard getting around the chair. Other than that, it was comfortable and clean.

Ship tip

Though this ship is a more relaxing ship, there is plenty to do. Get out and enjoy! Our favorite spot on the ship was the Solarium!

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

5 out of 5
Easy to get to. Did not do any excursions.

George Town, Grand Cayman Did not visit port

Been here so many times we stayed on the ship and enjoyed the quiet.

Oranjestad, Aruba

5 out of 5
We rented ATV's at Georges and drove around the island along the coast. Second time doing this and loved it! No guided tour so we went at our own pace.

Willemstad, Curacao

5 out of 5
We did a 4 hour tour from an independent operator. We did 2 hours on an open air bus going to a couple stops and then 2 hours at Mambo Beach which is beautiful and has everything you need there. Chairs are inexpensive!

Kralendijk, Bonaire

5 out of 5
Took a taxi to a beautiful beach called Sorobon Beach. As long as there are at least 4 people in the taxi it is $5 per person each way.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Super fast once we decided to get off the ship! Easy to get a porter and then facial scan so you don't need to have your passport out when leaving.

Beautiful Day in Curacao!
