Review summary

I think it was very good. My husband and I went on the cruise to rest, take it easy and enjoy the beautiful sites. I am retired. Everything was really nice, the cleanliness, orderly manner, most of the crew very polite and friendly. The hours of the food buffet should be longer, food was usually the same, I think it should have more variety.

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
The buffet was always very crowded and such a small area for it. Always the same menu, not much variety, seating space small. Specialty restaurants always same menu, not much variety. In a restaurant the seating is selected for you, I prefer to sit where I want.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The room staff were very friendly and would always be availble, as well as the ones at the buffet. But this one restaurant they were not that nice. I sat at a table and the way the waiter told me I had to be seated, was inappropriate. Not very nice.

Bridgetown, Barbados

3 out of 5
The port was too far and had to walk too much, it was a terrible experience. Had an excursion and practically had to run to get there on time. When we got back from the excursion had to do it quick in order to get a shuttle bus back to the ship. Was not able to take pictures at the port and no shopping. Barbados is beautiful.

Castries, St. Lucia
