Review summary

We liked the relaxation of the cruise and the service provided by the awesome staff. Just wish there was more variety in the shows. We will explore other Cruise lines for our next trip.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The food in all of the locations was very good.. We enjoyed the Specialty restaurants, Tamarind and Rudy's very much.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
The pools, as expected, were overcrowded and couldn't get chairs at all. Spent most of the cruise in the Crows Nest to be able to sit and relax.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The World Stage had only a Dance Group on 5 nights. Was expecting to see a decent show. The Band and Piano duo were awesome and made ending each night enjoyable.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Having spent minimal time in the room. It was a good fit and was always kept clean each day.

Ship tip

The Ship is more for an older demographic and is not much entertainment for a younger crowd. If that is what you are looking for. This would be nice for a relaxing vacation, if that is what you are looking for.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

5 out of 5
We live in FL and used the port for Embarking and Disembarking only.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5
The island was beautiful.. Only downfall was it was crowded because there was 2 HAL ships there at the same time. No Excursion

Disembarkation
