Nice Ship, but Lots of Waiting in Lines

Sail Date: Jan 2016
Cabin: Balcony Stateroom

We had a decent balcony cabin on deck 12 aft. During our first stop at Great Stirrup Cay, the wait for tenders was very long and the winds were too strong to really do anything ashore. The stops at ports with piers went much faster, but you are still in lines, just not as long.

On the two sea days, the ship is uncomfortably crowded. Deck chairs are all taken during breakfast and trying to find a comfy chair someplace to relax and read a book is a challenge. Bars are packed and the gym, while nicely equipped, is about a tenth of the size needed. We tried it twice and just did a lot of walking instead.

We bought the 5 night dining package and it was a pretty good deal. Upscale food and improved service. The most popular is Cagneys steakhouse. We liked the French bistro enough to go twice. Italian was also good. Great pizza! The churrascuria was just ok. The buffet was not bad at all, especially for breakfast.

Cabin Review

Balcony Stateroom

Cabin BX

Very small balcony, but we wouldn't go without one. Bed and pillows not anything great, but acceptable. Shower larger than expected. Bath overall very good. We were in the aft section of the ship, so it was pretty quiet. We talked to some who were far forward that had very loud music from the nightly theatre shows until almost midnight.
