Fantastic choices

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Great shows. Pool areas good although one negative would be to manage the saving of sun loungers situation as that was very frustrating. There were clearly people going to the deck early and saving their beds and leaving them for hours.

Entertainment

Children's Programs

I did not travel with children. But did meet people with children who said they were great.

Service and Staff

Cabin / Stateroom

Size was perfect. You don’t spend much time there. It was kept clean.

Ship tip

Get up early if you want a lounger. And don’t be one of those people who save them. If your leaving for more than 30mimutes give up your bed. If everyone did that there would be a good rotation of beds.

My favourite. Found an island driver away from the main road (green taxi badge - driver 2020 was great. Have us a tour of the island and took us to jolly beach - was like paradise. Charged us $12 each and took money on return.
