Average embarkation time given the size of the ship. I didn’t like how my party was separated so we were unable to take a group photo with the professional photographer before boarding the ship.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
The food in the specialty restaurants was really good. There were two exceptions: Bayamo (over-rated IMHO) and La Cucina (meal ordered was sub-par at best).
My lobster dish at Bayamo was severely overcooked. The hostess brought several servings of lobster claw meat with drawn butter to compensate for the inedible lobster claws which came with my meal. It was a very nice gesture.
Our meal at La Cucina was horrendous. The manager comped our meals after speaking with him.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
We participated in the onboard dance lessons and trivia games. It was a lot of fun and the ship’s coordinators were entertaining and engaging with the audience.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
We went to several musical shows and one comedy show. All were entertaining and fun.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
The staff has a focus on cleanliness. Staff members made a cute song ‘washy-washy’ to remind guests to wash their hands and use the hand sanitizer stations before entering dining facilities. My room steward ‘Yoga’ was EXCELLENT. He was always available to assist and meet special requests presented.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Staff were always present cleaning the ship in a non-intrusive manner.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
We had a balcony cabin which was spacious enough for the seven night cruise.
