Review summary

Overall, a good cruise to go on for a quick trip. If you are looking for a relaxing time with great food and service this is a good option. The ship never felt overly crowded and you could easily find a beach lounger or quiet place to sit and relax.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Super easy and quick getting on the ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Service and food were exceptional in the main dining room. Buffet was great also, although smaller than the bigger ships we've been on in the past.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Enjoyed trivia in the Schooners Bar and the Lounge.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The show's were a bit underwhelming . Not sure if it is due to the size of the ship. The special acts they had ( Magician and Comedian ) were great but the onboard entertainers were just ok.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Dining staff was fabulous ! We did not even see or meet our room steward until the 3rd day of a 5 day cruise.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Everything in the common areas were very clean. The ship is a little dated but to be expected on an older, smaller ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5
I mostly give a poor rating due to the mattress on the bed was the most uncomfortable mattress I've tried to sleep on. It felt like the equivalent of a sofa bed mattress. Otherwise the room was typical. The shower was partially damaged from water and a hanging shower curtain that is not great. Our toilet stopped flushing twice but maintenance was quick to come and fix.

Ship tip

It is a very relaxed ship and if you are looking to just chill it is a good choice. If you want a lot of options for entertainment and social gatherings it's limited.

Ports of call

George Town, Grand Cayman
