Review summary

Quiet ship, older demographic, 70-75 average. Kinks to work out transition from Alaska to Southern Caribbean itinerary. Entirely too warm on most of ship, roof kept closed over pool too much, which made it unbearably sticky. Limited activities. (Outside of health related- fix metabolism, crows feet, back pain, etc.)

CleNliness excellent, room temperature entirely too warm. Asked guest service and advised at standard temp…80.6. I asked if they were trying to cook passengers.

Ship tip

Bring a fan for room. Check statement daily if on beverage package as we found multiple errors 3 days in a row.

Yes. Street vendors and rappers very aggressive. Taken to jewelry store rather than having free time to shop. Fort a bit more daunting than expected- need better descriptions to passengers given incline, balance, and walking requirements.
