This repo cruise was a great R&R cruise. With only two ports, there was no everyday rush to get off the ship and to your excursion. There were only 353 passengers onboard. This made it a unique and quiet experience. We could actually find a pool chair at any time throughout the day. Our dining experiences were excellent. Our stateroom attendant did a great job maintaining our room. The bar staff even remembered our beverage of choice. It was ready upon arrival. This was one of the best cruise experiences we've ever had.

Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Excellent personalized services. Food choices and quality were very good.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
The pool areas were excellent. The daily activities were lacking participants because of the number of cruisers on the ship for this sailing. The staff did a good job on trying to get the guest to participate, but in the end, only a few attended.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
The production shows were excellent. The comedians were also very good. Some of the musical performers were just okay.
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
All of the waiters, room stewards and ship personnel were excellent. They always greeted you by name and fulfilled all our requests in a timely manner. I believe the Retreat host for our stateroom, did not add any value to our cruise. He never explained any of the options or features he offered. This was a disappointment. Other passengers we talked to, told us their Retreat host provided many services. We are still unclear of the services the Retreat host offers.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Most of the ships common areas were very clean. The outside was lacking some maintenance. Windows needed cleaning and there was a lot of rust coming thru the paint.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
The room was very clean and maintained nicely. The room was always stocked properly. The bed wasn't the most comfortable, but satisfactory.
Ship tip
I would suggest asking the Retreat host what his/her responsibilities are, for making your cruising experience better. What services and feature does the Retreat host provide.
We snorkeled with a ship excursion. The excursion was fine. the services provided were exactly what was advertised. If you have snorkeled before, I would suggest picking another excursion. The snorkeling was not very good. Although they took us to a ship reach and a small reef, there wasn't a lot of marine life. The shipwreck was interesting, but not very exciting.
The disembarkation was the easiest we ever experienced. this may have been due to the lack of passengers. From the time we left the ship, picked our luggage, went through customs and to are parked car, was less then 20 mins.
