Review summary

If you’re younger, solo traveler, looking to meet people your age. Don’t book this ship. Book a bigger boat, for 7 days or less in the Caribbean. Not enough time ashore in any given port. If you did an excursion, that’s all the time there was before setting sail again. Crew is overworked, and should get some time to visit ports, or look out a window.

Embarkation

It did the job.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
A lot of the food was over or undercooked. French toast was undercooked all but 2 days. Not able to get unique orders due to English language barriers.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
The crew staff was great. But most events were just canceled. No activities to do if they all get cancelled… example bingo or deal or no deal.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
Dancers could have been better. Music was good.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
As mentioned before, these people get on a boat and can’t get time to look out a window. They should be given some mandatory breaks to help with moral.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
As expected. Crew would clean. Guests would make it dirty.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Cabin was exactly what I needed.

Ship tip

If you’re younger, solo traveler, looking to meet people your age. Don’t book this ship. Book a bigger boat, for 7 days or less in the Caribbean.
