Review summary

Pretty ship but smokey public areas due to the casino not being enclosed. It was like the casino was an afterthought. Also cigar lounge cross vents in to the public areas and really stinks it up. Bad service in the MDR and never could get wait staff in the Atrium for a drink. No, I will not do this ship again. Tiny cabin and claustrophobic pool areas. Large ship with little features.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Construction around the cruise port makes it very long to get in.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Service was slow and the bar service was almost non-existent. Some of the food was good though.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Fewer activities than other ships. A lot of upsale presentations instead of an activity.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Great shows, but fewer shows. One of the smallest theaters on any ship. No balcony or sides.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Room steward was great but waitstaff so slow. Confusion in the MDR as we had to ask the head waiter for a waiter.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

Ports of call

Harvest Caye, Belize

4 out of 5

One of the best private islands out there. Downside is that this is the only one where you have to buy your food as the ship does not cater here.
