Review summary

Ship description stated it was recently renovated but from our perspective it was very retro and did not have the appearance of this recent renovation.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Dinners were great but the buffets were average at best.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Children's Programs

3 out of 5

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
More cramped then expected. Their idea of a sitting space is a small desk and a chair.

Ports of call

Cococay (Cruise Line's Private Island)

5 out of 5
This the perfect beach day. Although having to pay for every little option i.e. floating mat makes the all inclusive vacation a misnomer.
Don't Miss: Snorkeling

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
Atlantis was neat but the time in port is rushed and you really don't get an option to do more then one thing.
Don't Miss: Atlantis

Pros: Family time

Cons: Quality of the food of the buffets

Recommends Monarch of the Seas? No.
