Solarium is our very favorite for relax and quiet.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

The Effectors and the Book while technically excellent were hard to follow. No back story on what was happening and how they tied together.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Our waiter and assistant waiter in the main dining room and the waiter at Chops was exquisite. His knowledge of the menu and our needs was top shelf.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Ship was clean and gorgeous however the layout was a bit cramped and bars undersized for amount of passengers on multiple sea days.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

perfect size and loved the balcony

Ship tip

On an 8 day sailing with multiple sea days ensure to plan accordingly as crowds on deck and in dining areas

Willemstad, Curacao

5 out of 5

Did an excursion Pub Crawl and it was very laid back and visited some eclectic bars and taverns in Curacao. Excursion is the way to see Curacao due to the congestion and difficulty in travel.
