Review summary

Don’t believe reviews that it is a rust bucket. And, they are installing new carpet. We noticed several rolls of carpet stored at the front of deck 4. We loved this cruise.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

This was our 13th cruise. Getting on was a breeze! Very efficient.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

We are vegetarians so had all of our meals in the Windjammer. A variety of options for us. The staff was very friendly and seemed to be happy in the Windjammer. The staff was also efficient.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

The solarium was somewhat warm but a good place to relax if you experience stimulus overload from the busy pool deck. We avoid hot tubs but all of the pools were nice.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

All of the staff were helpful and friendly. Perhaps that’s a bonus with being on a smaller ship? Our room steward did a nice job and we appreciated the towel animals. The crew on this ship were the best we have experienced.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Very clean. We had an ocean view cabin The bed was okay. It seemed like an average sized cabin.

Ship tip

It is a smaller ship. If you have children review several ships. Some parents with young children thought there would be more for their children to do.

Took a cab to the beach. Went to Big Mamas beach area for a few hours. Had a couple of beers and enjoyed the warm water. No issue with sea grass. There was a fence in the water to keep the sea grass out. Water deep enough for swimming.

We stayed the night before the cruise in a Best Western Plus motel on Sea Wall Blvd. Close to a Walgreens for last minute items. We spent the morning on Steward Beach. A nice start before getting on the cruise around 12:30.
