Review summary

This was without a doubt, the most fun cruise I've ever been on and I have sailed with quite a few different cruise lines since 1990. The entire crew was fun and did everything possible to make life more fun for us. The newer neoRivera is possibly a different ship but if the crew is still as engaging, you'll have a ball on there. My daughter and I sailed on the Costa Rivera in 1990. I was 'forced' to choose a year up further and chose 2014.. We sailed in July 2014 to the BVI's. St Thomas, St.Maarten etc.

We very much enjoyed the shows. Lively and colorful. The dj's were great.. We danced the nights away.

My daughter was too old for the kids clubs

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

I can't speak on this because it was my very first ever cruise and I had nothing to compare it to.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

It was an ocean view room. My first cruise but now I always have a balcony.. Plenty spacious enough for the 2 of us.
