Children's Programs
5 out of 5
I really don't know about the children's program because I don't have children, but couldn't submit review without rating it. Not applicable didn't work.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
We really were happy with our waiter, Leandro, and his assistant Haydar. I would give them a 6 if I could! They were friendly, attentive, and most importantly the most efficient waiters we have ever had and we have cruised a lot. That gave us time to get to the early stage shows - very important to us. Our room steward, Bayu, was also friendly, attentive, and kept our room nicely.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
It really was a nice design for a small ship. Everything was quality, well maintained and clean that was there. So easy to get around. I liked all of the different sitting and viewing areas indoors and ourdoors.
Cabin / Stateroom
3 out of 5
This was the only thing not so excellent about the ship. We were in an interior cabin on deck 8. It was so small that we had to separate beds so that we didn't have to crawl over each other. We used our suitcases under the bed for cloths because there really wasn't anyplace for them. Hangers in the closet but no shelves and 3 small drawers. (We only had a carry on suitcase and a back pack each, so the problem wasn't overpacking!) The walls were so thin that you could hear what people were saying next door. F this F that:(( And the beds were very hard.
We stayed on South Beach for 5 nights after cruise. LOVED IT! Did a walking tour of Deco Art buildings. Went to the botanical garden. Rode free trolleys all over the island. Walked Collins Ave and Ocean drive at night. Neon lights on hotels and amazing cars like Lamborghinis. And of course lots of time at the beach!
Walked to the "southernmost point continental US" monument for pic and then over to the 0 mile marker for US HWY 1 for pic. Did a little shopping a long the way. Friendly people.
It was not a nice day - very windy and a little rain, but we still enjoyed the day. We walked to Fort Fincastle to look through it. Walked around looking at interesting architecture. Had a beer and left our name on the wall at The Bearded Clam downtown. Walked along the beach by the cruise port - Junko beach. Did a little shopping at the straw market. Most people were friendly.
