Review summary

Half of the aft elevators were inoperable. Spa was closed for half a day due to an incident code Bravo. Missed a port due to unfavorable water conditions which felt like a waste of a beautiful day. Restaurants closed at unfortunate times considering we were not allowed off the boat. Not my best cruising experience. It was not the ship (the ship we actually booked got chartered) or itinerary we originally booked. Everything changed with no recourse and we missed a port of call on a cruise with only two ports of call.

Considering we missed a port of call, there should be more interesting entertainment options available.

Children's Programs

There should be more options available to keep the children engaged so they aren’t all over the place.

Cococay (Cruise Line's Private Island) Did not visit port

Water conditions did not allow us to visit this location. But it’s because there is no port and it was unsafe to operate the tender boat to that would carry us to the island. The second cruise in one year we were unable to visit the island. So we’ve only been once out of the three time it was on our itinerary. The one time we went was the highlight of our trip. But we haven’t been able to get back since. It put my husband of cruising for good. Our previous cruise missed 3 out of 4 ports with no substitutions made so we were on the boat for 5 days straight. A different nightmare!
