I liked this cruise because you had a lot of relaxing days and a few ports but not a lot to do in those islands which forced me just to relax. The ship was ok not glamourous by any means. We chose to go when school was in so that it was mainly retirees cruising. Because of that the venues were not packed with kids. I had a nice time- no regrets.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
main dining room good, food was ok and Jaimie's Italian Excellent in everyway. Buffet was the same as always okay
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
laser tag- my controller was broke but still fun, escape room- very hard, morning stretch was good, spa too pushy in sales instead of focusing on what I did purchase which was a massage. loved 70's and 80's nights
Entertainment
2 out of 5
Ice show- the pair dancers kept falling and hurting themselves- were not good and the choreography did not match. The Elton John tribute was excellent like I was seeing him in person. Missed a real musical/show like prior ABBA/Grease/etc. it felt they were winging it what they would put on.
Children's Programs
no kids
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Room steward Eunice was wonderful made it feel like home and took pride in knowing us and our likes. Waiter was nice but sooo quiet under the mask and then when I did not eat something he would ask if I didn't like it or wanted something else this was a bit annoying but it came from a good heart.
Ship Quality
2 out of 5
Ships layout was good, I will say this ship was refurbished in 2018 but is seems like early 2000's ships. No plugs were convenient and the décor is unusual and not classy like Swarovski and glamour of years past. Yes there are more offerings at the cost of making smaller venues. I would rather have less bars that are bigger then all these small venues. It was clean on board.
Cabin / Stateroom
3 out of 5
a bit small hard to get around the bed without getting on the bed to get on the side of the bed. Beds need to be a lot softer my back hurt everyday even with added padding from the cabin steward. It was very clean.
Ship tip
For a nice peaceful area go to Mariner dunes there are many lounge chairs and wind glass to over look the ocean. Also go to the helipad its a nice spot
We did the Klein Bonaire water taxi and snorkeled and then took a taxi around the island. Love it there and if you can spend time at Sorobon beach it is where we want to go back to.
