Review summary

The ports of call were beautiful. Do get off the ship at every port. Spa was wonderful - massage therapist were top of the line. Dine specialty where possible. Main dining and buffet sub par.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Puerto Rico was a welcome change from the chaos of Miami and New York

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Manhattan Room was subpar - not what I'm used to. Specialty restaurants were stellar - noteworthy mention is Moderno. It was our first time at this restaurant, and certainly will not be my last. Important note: The ship ran out of alcohol choices on day 2 (ketel one botanicals; Santa Margherita wine - names they tout as their choices). Not ideal.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Pool was very small.... not much space at all. Much better on other ships.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Music was not diverse. Same music played consistently.

Children's Programs

no children

Service and Staff
