Review summary

We really enjoyed this Valentine’s Day cruise. The attendants were all friendly, helpful and seemed to enjoy their job. The ship was kept very clean.The islands were beautiful and well maintained. I was happy to see that Labadee was open as I had ne er been to that port. We are ready for our next cruise!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The food in the dining room was good. I wasn’t a fan of many of the foods at the buffet. It was too bland and much of it dry. But in fairness I do not eat a buffets.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

As a senior citizen I did not use the rock climbing walls, pools, etc. I did check out the fitness area and he was very welcoming.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Every staff member was delightful.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

It was cleaned and sanitized. The ship is starting to show some wear but it didn’t bother me enough to dock a star.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

We had a balcony cabin. It was not large but there was plenty of room and we felt comfortable. I loved the size of the closet and all of the storage. My only complaint is the small bathroom and shower but it is typical on a cruise ship.

Ship tip

Be sure to check out the meal times in the dining room. The first two days we had to eat at the buffet as we missed the window of times for the main dining room.
