Review summary
We had a wonderful time on the cruise, the ship is a little dated and small, but very nice none the less.
We cruised with 2 adults and 2 young teens 0 in an interior room.
The kids slept on the pull out bunk beds, which were roomy, but it was still cramped when we all stood up. We probable will get 2 rooms next time for privacy.
The food was excellent in the main dinning room. Choices of escargot, steak and delicious fancy deserts are available every night. The windjammer cafe is so so. It's buffet style for the most part, with an omelet station at breakfast.
The Park cafe is pretty good, but the hours are odd. It's open for 3 hours then closed for 3 hours.
Room service is good, but limited. Service charge is added after 12, but free for the food.
The pool is tiny on the main deck, and so is the pool in the atrium. The entertainment leaves a lot to be desired, luckily the scenery is amazing in the Caribbean.
Alcohol is expensive. Beers are about 6.50 and well watered down mixed drinks are 8-12. Suggest buying a bottle for 80 or try sneaking in some.
Getting on and off the ship wasn't too bad. All in all we had a great first cruise. We will definitely be looking for a larger boat next trip. Looking for more options and more things to do.
