The place where we ate most of the time. Great selection of food for lunch and dinner. Breakfast - needs more options. Service was EXCELLENT!

we did not have much time to do much since it was a short cruise

Entertainment

4 out of 5
dance show was ok - but would have wanted more vibe to it ... comedian was great .. The Quest always a blast ..

Royal Theater

3 out of 5

seating has to be changed. The chairs have no back support (super short backing to the seats) .. then you have benches and chairs almost on top of each other. I would rather see a theater style seating.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
all service & staff were super friendly ...

Ship tip

Be ready to enjoy a small ship but with a big heart! Do not expect a big pool, slides, or a lot of activities.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

3 out of 5
port is ok but I expected more from Miami ...

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
I really like the fact that you can walk off the ship and find so many shopping and even a beach within walking distance. The options are plenty ....

HAVANA, CUBA

5 out of 5
We fell in LOVE with Cuba .... did the car ride excursion and loved it
