Review summary

It's been a cold January in Florida, so it was cold the day we boarded and rainy. However, we had sunshine for the remainder of our cruise. We have been to these ports numerous times and have participated in MA y excursions. This rime around we really took the time to just relax. We only did the one excursion in Ambee Cove. The ship itself is beautiful. It's big but not too big like the RC oasis class ships. There really isn't a cruise I don't like.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

We had a late embarkation. It went smoothly. No waiting time and went directly to our room.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food waa ok. I can't say great as it is never hot. Most of the time, it's room temperature.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

It was an interior cabin. Very quiet toward the front of the ship on the 11th floor. Slept like a baby.

Ship tip

Get your walking shoes on. It's a large ship. Serenity area has a hidden gem... has a wonderful large, salad bar but its only opened on sea days.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5

Our luggage was placed in the wrong zone, so we had to look through all the zones to find them.
