Review summary

We enjoyed being in the Caribbean again. First time on a reposition which was fine, though prefer more days in ports versus sea days. We did purchase rum on Aruba, that the crew misplaced and cost us over 3 hours our last night on the cruise. Thankfully they did find it!

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Very smooth and easy

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Variety of more unique food offerings in the dining room. Buffet was okay, though very similar in choices every day.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Small pools and hot tubs that were crowded. Less things to do than other cruise lines.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Our room steward, Joey was great! Marion, our head waiter was absolutely amazing and his attention to detail was phenomenal!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Saw teams cleaning regularly with supervision oversight. Carpet in our room, and in some common areas was definitely worn. The cabin itself was smaller than other cruise lines and the balcony was tiny.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

The cabin was smaller than we’ve had on other cruise lines. The balcony was so small it couldn’t be enjoyed.

Ship tip

Enjoy the view from the back of the ship!
