Review summary

We loved our cruise! We thought that it was better than the Royal Caribbean lines, but maybe not as good as Holland America in the service and food departments. We, however, loved the freestyle dining. It was nice not to have to punch a clock right after a day of sunning on deck or touring in port and immediately dress and run to dinner. I loved the fact that we could pretty much make our own schedule and also the fact that we could dress up or not which we chose to not every night of the trip. It hardly seems like a vacation if you have to dress a certain way all the time and show up at a certain time every night. Freestyle is the way to go. Now that's a vacation! Also, the entertainment on board is incredible. The best we've ever seen on a ship.

Not my favorite destination, but we went to the rainforest... despite the hot, sweaty hour and a half trip up to it and back... the rainforest was beautiful!! Quite a hike though.

Couldn't get off the ship. It was too windy. That was a huge bummer.
