The itinerary for these 21 days was incredible. We did an 11 day Southern, stopping at 6 islands and a 10 day eastern, stopping at 5 islands. On both cruises there were 2 sea days out and two sea days back with all the stops in between. I would have preferred a sea day somewhere in the middle. The ports were great, the beaches even better. Being a small ship it was easy getting on and off at all ports.

This was our 40+ cruise and we prefer the smaller/mid size ships to the large city size ships. This ship was a little too small for us. Almost all of the evening activity was on the 4th deck. Theater at one end, Dining room at the other with the casino, the centrum and the Schooner bar in between. No bar in the casino and NO RESTROOMS on the floor. You needed to go up one or down one. Very limited evening activities. Also, being a small ship, the entertainers seem to be less entertaining. The ship orchestra and show staff were wonderful. It was 50/50 whether we stayed for the whole show with some of the guest entertainers.

The dining room staff needs to learn from NCL on how to handle "my time dining". The matre'd encouraged people to sit at the same table and come at the same time?????? if there was a table of 8 and 4 people showed up at their "assigned time" and 4 people came in 40 min. later, they were all seated at the same table. We sat at a table for 2 and couldn't have been happier. We were well satisfied with the dinner selections in the dining room as well as the lunch selections in the Windjammer. Read more
