Very enjoyable trip. Few children and young families likely due to 11 days on board.

Review summary

Weather was perfect so that helped make it a great experience. Met a bunch of very nice people. Much older group of passengers than previously experienced. Moving around the ship could be slow as a result. Ship was full which made it necessary to get up early to grab deck space especially on sea days. Stop in St Croix was cancelled which was unfortunate-no explanation given but it was done weeks in advance-no refunds either.

Embarkation

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Only one somewhat rude interaction but not serious.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

well maintained common areas. Kind of an odd layout-took many days to get comfortable moving around the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Very clean. Somewhat small for a balcony room-not as nice as on the Breakaway.

Ship tip

Suggest making reservations for dinner in the main rooms especially as a couple.
