Denry was great helping us get to our room. Sandy did a great job cleaning our room. Sloboden was one of our favorite bartenders at the pool bar. We also liked our bartenders at the Bull and Bear, the Piano Bar and the Boleros bar

Cabin size was great. Bed was roomy, bathroom was also very nice.

Ship tip

We liked staying on the lower level because you have easier access on and off the ship for excursions

Bridgetown, Barbados

We picked a beach close to the cruise ship and also one that was not crowded. We loved having a longer day at Barbados to be able to watch the sunset and then head back to the ship.

We love the islands too and try to limit at sea days. It’s not like you’re not on the ship every night so we agree. Glad you had a great time. Come on April!! Lol

Disappointing ship

Wonderfull

We had a nice experience onboard. The Cabins needed a little bit of work, and there weren't a lot of Family activities. Everything was spread out, and I found myself getting a workout from just walking to the other side of the ship.
