Review summary

The ship is marvelous and the staff seems very satisfied and happy. Food isk great regardless of the dining area. Ports of call, including Grendad, Bonaire and Aruba were good. Recommend checking out other shore excursions. do NOT do one in Bonaire to a marine reserve (all beaches are national marine reserve) that promotes a snorkeling adventure. It should be removed from their shore options. If you like snuggly towels, don't expect them aboard this ship. Entertainment is exceptionally good. Would book again but not marina deck due to noise above. Ship is very clean and well maintained. Great art gallery this time.

Cabin / Stateroom

Super cabin steward!!!. Kept cabin very neat and equipped.

Ship tip

If you do anytime dining, don't let them tell you to wait, check out the portside entry instead. Also they need stairs in the central elevator area as there are none, leading to amass of lines and congestion periodically in the midship elevators. on Marina deck we had noise from above

Hi Karen have a look at position of M311 on deck 15 and deck 16 directly above M311. It's on starboard side near the lift and just under the beginning of the public area. I don't think you should be affected too much as it doesn't appear to be in the main throng of deck 16.

Did you go to Dominica and if so what was the state of it given the recent hurricane?

Would you say m311 would be OK? That's our cabin next week, I like quiet too so wouldn't like a noisy room

I agree. A marvellous ship. Regarding staterooms on marina deck it's important that you choose your stateroom carefully. Make sure there's no public area on the deck above you. Mid ship and aft there is. Mid forward near the lifts is perfect. No noise from deck above so very quiet. I've booked the RP in June next year M214 again. Cannot wait.
