Review summary

This is the perfect cruise if you want to have a slower, lazy cruise.  I'm so used to a Carnival/Royal Caribbean/Celebrity cruise where you have plenty of choices to make in activity.  This ship is the complete opposite.  So if you want to relax and do nothing this is the ship.  There was no Caribbean music playing anywhere that I heard; another guest told me the same thing.  No games were played (think Hairy Man contest).  There was only one night for a comedy show.   It did have good food.  The highlight, they bring your meals to your cabin if you request it. They will even bring you a hot breakfast (unlike Norwegian, unless you're a suite passenger).  They surprised with me lobster since most cruise lines stop providing it on short cruises.

Not enough comedy and very little "today's hits"/pop dance music for 20 to 50s.

Loved the cabin; it was nicely decorated and we were very comfortable. We were very impressed with how big the balcony was.

Thanks for sharing your cruise.

On my cruise in Dec. there was steel drum music by the pool.  In fact, they gave a class on how to play the instrument.  Hope they do more of this type of music as that is what I want to hear in the Caribbean.
