Review summary

We live in Florida and cruise often. We are also retired so tend to enjoy the ship and not get off at the ports. This is a great ship to do just that. Plenty to keep us occupied or lots of quiet places if that was our preference. This is a nice sized ship. Not too small. Not to big. Just right!

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Easy and quick. Be sure to check in online before you go to the port as it helps!

Lots of smiles. Cabin steward was new and did an awesome job. Only bad around buffet entrance when Washy Washy started chasing folks down to wash their hands

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Well maintained. Easy to get around. Lots of space even with a full ship

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Interior. A little close to step around bed but overall very nice. We had lots of storage. Needed a mattress topper and one was provided.

I agree, we do not get off the ships in Mexico or the Caribbean, with the exception of the private island and Key West. If it is your first cruises to that area it is fun but after several cruises it is less exciting.
