Review summary

The ship is very nice, a bit bigger than we would like. The crew is fantastic - great food and extremely clean. The only negatives about the ship would be the shopping on board is not a nice as some other ships we have been on, the instructor for the stretch class is very poor. In the dining room, Nono and Toro are fantastic, and our room steward, Imade was great! The cruise director, Shane, is super.

Ports of call

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5

Rented a cabana - a very good idea

Oranjestad, Aruba

1 out of 5

Don't ever need to go there again - really nothing there, a lot of crumbling buildings, shopping very overpriced

Willemstad, Curacao

5 out of 5

Loved Curacao, but too far to go again. Shopping so-so. Local artwork for sale is great.

Don't Miss: the walking bridge
