Review summary

Great cruise and will definitely do it again. Loved the islands.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Despite having priority embarkation it still took a long time to board. The ship was being sanitized after a norovirus outbreak on the previous cruise and it seemed to throw everything off in the terminal.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The food was all great. The drinks were good but very inconsistent from bar to bar.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

The activities were ok. Nothing that stand out but decent.

Entertainment

The entertainment was ok but nothing that really stood out. Definitely had to arrive to shows plenty early if you wanted a seat.

The service was great!

Ship Quality

I thought the layout was great. Plenty of comfortable places to get away from the crowd and just relax and stare at the water.
