Review summary

Did a b2b this time, a 3 day and a 4 day. The 3 day was not as enjoyable as there were a lot of young people, large groups and kids. Made for lines at the bar, casino and dinning room. I guess weekenders but I will not do a 3 day again

Food and Dining

Main dining my time dinning was great and our servers Dayakar, Mickell and Savio took good care of us, we were on a b2b and requested them. They would have our drinkes ready for us and special roles my girl liked

Large balcony, nice bed and close to the steps.

Have been here many times but always something to do. We walked to the beach and visited the old Graycliff Hotel. Very cool old place from a time gone bye.

Those short cruises are just booze cruises. When it comes to cruising, the longer, the better!

Agree that 3 days is not the best way to sail. For us even 4 days isn’t worth the airfare. Appreciate your and glad you mostly enjoyed your B2B.

Appreciate your comments, short cruises are filled with kids and party animals. If you are looking for relaxing and peace, longer is better
