Review summary

We did a B2B and was looking forward to Grand Cayman that was canceled but replaced with Mexico. I’m not a fan of Mexico but was still happy to be cruising. Can’t wait for more of the shows on board. If you aren’t a big phone app fan c cruising could be a challenge for awhile.

Embarkation

The line was a little longer than usual.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
I was so looking forward to eating my first meal at el loco fresh. The burrito had a cooked tortilla that was crunchy. Not sure why that was but it didn’t have the right texture to begin with. I was disappointed with the flavor, it was a little blah. Next time made a taco salad and the chips and cheese were really good. Only ate one dinner in the Windjammer but had my best meal of the cruise. The sweet potato wedges and the chicken parmigiana were sooo good! The MDR had great options and was glad I was on 2 weeks to try most options. The steak, chicken parmigiana, and tenderloin were my favorites.

Had a bad experience here last time I visited. (My wallet was stolen). So only got off ship to look on port then got back aboard.

Oranjestad, Aruba

Had a RC shore excursion to the beach. Water was colder than I thought it would be but the sand and colors are phenomenal!
