Review summary

We had a pleasant 6 day cruise, however, the food at the various stations (other than specialty restaurants) could stand improving. The ship was immaculate and sparkled. Embarking and disembarking were the best we've encountered on numerous cruises.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Excellent ~ quite fast and efficient

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Specialty restaurants had excellent food, dining room was just a little above average and buffet was so so.

Teppanyaki

4 out of 5

The food at this venue was very tasty and abundant, however, our side of the table was quite delayed in receiving service.

Cagney's Steakhouse

5 out of 5

The quality of food at Cagney's was excellent, both beef as well as lamb.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Not many activities geared for our generation. Casino machines were difficult to access such that I didn't use the casino at all, unlike other cruises I've been on. Couldn't figure out how to use the machines.

Hot Tubs

3 out of 5

The pool was very small and thus overrun most of the hours it was open. Hot tub as well.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Most shows were aimed at a younger generation

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All personel encountered were helpful, cheerful and polite.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Excellent as far as cleanliness. We were impressed with the atrium and artwork.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
We had a balcony stateroom and it was sparkling as far as cleanliness at all times. The only problem we had was in accessing our closet which was wedged behind the bed with not much room to get into it.

Ship tip

If you older than 50 be forewarned ~ this line caters to the younger set.

Ports of call

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
We booked a private foodie excursion and found this island to be standard Caribbean.

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

5 out of 5
Took a "taxi" tour and can highly recommend this type of tour. Just departed the ship and made arrangements with one of the taxi drivers on the pier. Highly enjoyable and I felt we got a good overview of the island.

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
A very nice port ~ not the traditional Caribbean ports where you sometimes feel unsafe.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We used the self disembarking and found it to be very fast and efficient unlike some other cruises we have taken.
