Review summary

Good, short getaway for us. Probably will not travel during hurricane season, at least to Bermuda or Caribbean. Our weather was perfect, but worried and tracked storms until embarking.

Standard balcony cabin. Plenty of storage.

Ship tip

Buffet is crowded like all ships, but there is plenty of seating all the way forward after you pass the lines. We found that area empty several meals.
