Review summary

All in all a very relaxing and enjoyable cruise. Aruba is now checked off of our bucket list.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Very good! Wish we new more about the "Key" and what was included, like boarding anytime, not just at our scheduled time. We would have boarded earlier

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Main dining room food was excellent. The Head waiter was fabulous and helped us change out plan. The "Your Time Dining" was not explained well and he helped us change our plan.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Spa was fabulous! Entertainment was top notch in the Royal theater and Studio B.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The ship was one of the smaller ones. That was nice because it didn't take long to traverse the length. The ship was beautiful, albeit getting a little older. I understand its due for dry dock this off season for more updates.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The cabin was nicely sized. Wish the shower was a little bigger, with a foot stand. Also the toilet was a little higher than a normal toilet. All was in good condition, however the ships public address did not work in our room.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

Oranjestad, Aruba

Port was nice. We did the Sights and Tastes Tour. Tour guide was not that good. We also only got one little island food treat. As far as the desert island itself, I don't see what everyone says about Aruba. I guess you need to be a scuba diver

Willemstad, Curacao

5 out of 5
Nicest island on the cruise. We were on the the sights bus tour ending on Mambo Beach. Fabulous tour guide and very interesting tour. We also did the sunset cruise. Highly recommend. The guide and captain were fantastic.

Kralendijk, Bonaire

5 out of 5
Very interesting tour. The sights and beach your. The beach was nice, but not as nice as Mambo on Curacao. The island is really oriented to divers and wind sailing.

Disembarkation

We were on the cruise as well. Pretty much agree with all you said. Also did the sunset cruise in Curaçao. That was a lot of fun and very interesting.

We did the cycling round the island in Bonaire and it was awesome.
