Review summary

This was a great end of summer cruise. A smaller ship, so less activities for the kids, but the kids program made up for it.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Super easy. We were there around 1 though, so not as busy.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Windjammer Cafe

5 out of 5

I usually avoid Windjammer. But on this ship the layout was great (not over crowded tables) and the food was excellent.

Concierge Lounge

5 out of 5

Excellent. Christian was a great concierge and Merwin (on bar) knew our drinks by the second day and prepared them as soon as we arrived. He also constantly brought fresh ones.

Giovanni's Table

Always amazing. And service as well.

Cabin / Stateroom

This is a grand suite on the bump out. Now I get the hype. The balcony was even larger and the station had 2 glass doors that slid open. It was amazing! Suite itself was as expected.

Ports of call

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5
We did the chill side this time and rented a beach bed at Breezy Bay ($199). Totally worth it!

Key West, Florida

5 out of 5
Our first time. It was fun. Would suggest transportation to Southernmost Point. It was very hot and felt long. Duval street was a blast.
