Review summary

Curaçao has become our new favorite island!! Loved Bonaire, too. The “professor shoppers” on the ship will tell you that there’s not much shopping because there are no Diamonds International or “big ticket” shops but there is plenty of locally owned stores. Enjoyed these ports!

Embarkation

5 out of 5

We arrived to the port early, around 10:45, and went right through. We actually were too early to board the ship, so we had to wait about 15 minutes in a nice room where everyone was seated. There were a lot of people helping passengers.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food was good. I wish there were more of a variety to choose from in the main dining room.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Enjoyed the pool, games and movies at night.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

The shows, singers, dancers, musicians, magician and comedians were excellent!! The only problem was that because the theater is so small, we had to arrive an hour before the shows began in order to get a seat. This ate up a lot of time we could have used to do other activities.

Children's Programs

No children sailed with us.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

All were excellent, especially our waiters, J.P. and Ian.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

The layout was fine, except the location of the Bonticelli dining room. Since the galley is right next door, it eliminates the ability for passengers to leave the dining room and go directly to the rest of the ship without having to go up a flight of stairs.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Comfortable and clean but in need of new carpet and paint. Still loved it.

Ship tip

Take advantage of the shows and outside spaces.

Not for children or people under 60. The staff was extremely rude.
