Review summary

This was out first cruise. We travelled with 6 others who are very experienced at cruising. They did not care for the ship - said service wasn't as personal, and felt common areas were too small for the amount of people on board. We all agreed that the food was amazing at all the restaurants we ate at.

Room was great, and always clean.

Ship tip

Very noisy by mail pool area - it you want to relax go to H2O bar where you can lounge in peace.

I did not care for this port - this was our first cruise, and this was our first port. I didn't feel very secure. Taxi drivers were very, very pushy. Only spent about an hour there before heading back to the ship.,

We did an excursion this day and went by catamaran to a private island. Didn't sign up for snorkeling or glass bottom kayak, and felt the time on the beach was way to short (1.5 hours) We did not go into to port as there were at least 9 other ships docked and knew if was crazy.
