Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Cabin smelled like grease but was very clean. The bed was super comfortable and there was a good mix of soft and firm pillows.

Ship tip

I traveled solo and met a lot of people on the Facebook group ahead of cruise. And I made some great friends and my 6pm dinner slot. Made for a great experience.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

George Town, Grand Cayman

I did a beach club excursion. It was very short and it rained and stormed. The food was good. The beach chairs were off to the side and not convenient to the beach.

Oranjestad, Aruba

4 out of 5
My two stop snorkeling excursion was cut short due to the rain and rough sea conditions.

Kralendijk, Bonaire

5 out of 5
This was my favorite stop. Saw the flamingos and donkeys. Pop, the tour guide and driver, was jolly and very knowledgeable.

Willemstad, Curacao

5 out of 5
I visited the caves and Mambo beach. Did not have much time at the beach due to the traffic and tour length, but it was enough. Caribbean sun is fierce!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Getting off the boat was as easy as getting on. I put my luggage out the night before and it was placed in the wrong group in the terminal, but easily spotted due to the color.
