Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Would have been nice to have another venue or so, but small ship. Service in main dining small glitch, quickly rectified, great staff

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
perfect for ship size, gym rats probably would not be happy. Does need sauna or steam for gym, neither at spa

Entertainment

4 out of 5
lot of fun, very good, nice that they did not overdo the holiday music, this is a Caribbean vacation, right?

Children's Programs

no children with us

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
It seems that everyone on this ship went out of their way to know the customer by sight, from day one with stewards, then servers, etc

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
all clean

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
excellent for what it was, inside cabin
