Review summary

We love the Caribbean in the winter. My wife wanted Culture. So we visited a Haitian village. And an art museum. I like beaches, music and rum punch. So that was the last half of our cruise.

The Goucho was a pleasant surprise. He was very funny.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The servers are always excellent. Our housekeeper was easy to find when needed.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

It is clean and well maintained. Because of the size of the ship, we rarely used elevators.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The cabin was fine. But the cost of a balcony cabin has skyrocket. And $1,000 to choose you balcony is ridiculous.

Ship tip

Bringing on deck 7 makes the restaurants.and theater convenient
