Wouldn’t do a TA on such a small ship again, done two previously on Freedom class and they were fantastic. Going east to west was also not good for your sleeping patterns as added an hour per night for 6 nights which totally threw my sleeping out of schedule. Was tired by 9.00pm but was waking at 5.00 in the morning. At least was able to see the Tampa bridge as again was awake as we went under it. Overall staff were fantastic couldn’t fault any of them but it was difficult for them to keep us amused due to the lack of areas on the ship to catty out activities.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
The food in the MDR was pretty mediocre RCCL really are cutting back and some of the meals I chose were really inedible, windjammer ok as normal wasn’t too busy could always find a seat.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
Didn’t really do much as can’t rock climb but pool area was good on sea days and not too cold
Entertainment
3 out of 5
Some were good others mediocre didn’t go to all due to clock changes affecting sleeping patterns
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Staff we dealt with were brilliant were always smiling and very helpful, cost be a lot in extra bucks as felt I needed to award them more for going that extra mile
Ship Quality
2 out of 5
Ship is old and and needs updating was poor for a TA as too many activities clashed and the only place they could anything really was the centrum so hardly and seating having to watch from all the different floors.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Cabin was comfortable with plenty of hanging and storage places. No kettle lucky I was able to sneak a kettle on board for morning cuppa. Doors on cupboards were not fitting properly so me with my travel kit fixed them. Couldn’t really fault cabin other than above also note was able to get luggage under the bed.
Ship tip
Don’t do a TA on her too small for so many sea days
Best local tour went to the top of the world, fantastic view above the clouds felt you could touch the sun. Would highly recommend this but if you are queasy about mountain driving don’t as there are 192 hair pin bends on the way to the summit
Ship was late in as too much traffic in channel docked 7.30 instead of 4.30. So many self carry offs that they really couldn’t cope. Our number was 5 which they called along with 4,6,8 which meant waiting on the gangway for nearly half an hour to get too luggage retrieval the immigration which took another half an hour. Not all desks were open and on one the official was doing a special project even though there were massive queues no special line for USA citizens not like other ports and airports.
