I was very surprised at how small the ship was when we boarded. However, we made the choice to book this cruise about 2 weeks before we set sail. The ship may have been small and with limited on board options (3 bars) and rockwall climbing, casino (with no airconditioning) and a few on board shops. But where there were limits it DID NOT DISAPPOINT IN SERVICE. Best service I've ever experienced on a cruise from our stellar dining room attendants : Reagan, Cesar and Rabi! We absolutely loved the bar attendants in the Sckooners Bar: Miriam, Caroline and Joyce. And at Boleros - Ashford is the Man! And Nigul in the Windjammer was fantastic. Lambert our room attendant was fabulous as well! ADULT GAME SHOW WAS HILARIOUS!

I've been all over the world, and stayed in 5 star hotels - and although this was a vacation at a "different price point" - it ranks among the very best!!!!

PS - Food was spectacular!!!!!!!!!

Port Reviews

Grand Cayman (Georgetown)

Went to Calico Jacks - Easy to get a taxi, you can buy chairs and unbrellas for $5 each and the food was great! Water perfect! Our favorite day! Wish we had been there two days!

Key West

Walked around town and went to a small beach. Water note really nice. This is what we refer to as a "wasted stop" - it needs to be replaced with something else or two days in Grand Cayman.

Miami

Stayed at Hollywood Margaritaville for 4 days prior - it was fabulous
