The ship was excellent loading, to entering the ship, it was perfect. Everything was within reach. True, a small ship, and well run, staff made it so. I have nothing but praise. The only problem for me was the cigarette smoke on pool deck 9. I would highly recommend this ship.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
The food was excellent, although I would rate Great Gatesby Main Dining Room as better. We did have lunch at the windjammer, because Main Restaurant served for lunch sandwiches and soup. So lunch was at windjammer. For late snacks, we had at Park Cafe, because windjammer closes at 9 and same for main restaurant. We had anytime at Main Restaurant.

We did see the comedian at the theater, Rick D'ella, he was not great nor bad. Outside of that not any shows. We did see Madame Jojos group in centrum, and she was great. I highly recommend the group. Wanted to see Piano player Raul Canceran, and he did not sound, so great, plus to much cigarette smoke.

Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
We had an inside Cabin, and it was excellent. The only problem, on deck 2, not any refrigrators, but we solved that problem. We solved that problem, with a cooler, that we brought onboard. We had the porter to fill with ice in the morning and evening.
Ship tip
If you looking for a smaller ship, this is the one, but large for you, then this is not the ship.
we have been here many times, we negotiated with a taxi driver, take the taxis at El Cid down the street, not the ones in front of the cruise terminal. We had our hearts set on a fish dinner, at Chen Rio, we have done many times. All over the island, lots of seaweed, which runs the beach, but lunch was excellent. There is not any electricity here nor internet. They cannot process credit cards, so take cash. We bought in town vanilla, and as usual alchol
We had breakfast in main restaurant, and it was very relaxing, it is very true, that everybody gathers for walking off. We only took 35 minutes to get off and catch our ride home.
