Review summary

Great cruise, even though it rained on and off at 3 of the 4 ports. Half Moon Cay is amazing…my favorite of all. Everything else was fantastic.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Fast and easy. Got to terminal a bit ahead of our 12:40 pm boarding time and were taken right through. On the ship by noon!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We only did MDR and Lido….both were excellent.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We primarily went on this cruise for relaxation. We gambled a little, went to a few of the Coffee with Claire, Cocktails with Claire sessions. Went to all of the port information sessions, played Euchre up in the Crow’s Nest and sat in the chaise loungers on the promenade deck.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Loved the dancers, piano players. Not so much the comedian.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All service personnel went out of their way to make our cruise enjoyable.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Very clean and well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Plenty of room for us - shower only, no tub, which we like. Oodles of storage. We don’t spend much time in room anyway. Loved being 1 floor above promenade deck. We were halfway between forward and mid ship. Very quiet room.
