Review summary

Great cruise. Enjoyed the solarium area. Ship was smaller than the giants that just keep getting bigger it seems. ABC islands are always a good choice since weather will always be nice

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We’ll organized and speedy

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
MDR experience was excellent. Windjammer breakfasts were good but could use a little more variety

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Silent Disco was disappointing. Between the two channel options, could have had one with music more appealing to folks in their 50s and 60s. Saw a lot of people in this age group, like myself that quit after a while when the music offered was not familiar to us

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Marco Romano was excellent!!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All staff were friendly and helpful

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship shows it’s age, but was very well maintained. Design was easy to follow and get around

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Wayan, our room attendant was so efficient and friendly. Always greeted us with enthusiasm

Ship tip

Make sure you visit the prow of the ship, accessible from deck 5. There’s a helicopter pad there with a bench and the area is never busy. Nice place to view the seas and enjoy some peace and quiet. It does get pretty windy at times

Ports of call

Willemstad, Curacao

5 out of 5
Lots to see and do here. We weren’t there very long unfortunately

Oranjestad, Aruba

5 out of 5
Always enjoy Aruba. Always sunny and warm. Did a two stop snorkeling trip via catamaran that included drinks and lunch

Kralendijk, Bonaire

5 out of 5
Enjoyed catamaran sailing with snorkeling. Bonaire is laid back an not so “touristy” as Aruba or Curaçao

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very well organized. Off in 15 minutes
