Review summary

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Drinks were awesome, the bar tenders are great. Food was ehhhh. The main dining rooms both have the same menu, I thought that was really odd. So you basically choose a dining room for ambiance, not menu. The Italian restaurant was totally not worth the money. We paid and actually had the worst service.

Ship Quality

It's a smaller ship which we actually liked. It was easy to manage. We thought it was kept very clean.

Ship tip

No need to get to the port early, they make you wait to get on (at least that was our experience). Don't pay for the Italian restaurant. Enjoy the drinks and the adults only pool. Also the top sun deck is a hidden gem, a bit removed the great views.

We couldnt get off the boat for this port of call.. SOOOOOO dissapointing. This was the only stop i was very excited about. Apparently, after talking to passangers, there is often issues with the currents and weather making this port get cancelled often. It was a bummer. It looked beautiful though from the ship :(
