Lots of unhappy travelers on this ship. When they say make a reservation, they are serious! We missed the main shows as none were available. Only show we got to see was Howling at the Moon. It was GREAT! The old fashioned sit down and take your order was so LOUD you couldn't hear your own conversation. Didn't go back. The buffet is a FREE FOR ALL! No order, LONG LINES, food cold by the time you get a table and food mediocre at best. Now, the specialty restaurants you have to PAY for were excellent. Again, you NEED reservations. After practically begging, we were able to try a couple. Food good, service good. Sort of what we "thought" all the food would be like. No lobster night like all other cruises. Nope..not unless you wanted to PAY $20 EXTRA!

Staff seem unhappy. Not many smiles. Our room steward was nice though.

Luggage not delivered until around 8 pm. I went and got ours sitting in the hall way.

Cabin Review

Mid-Ship Balcony

Cabin BA

The weirdest layout I have ever seen. Potty right inside the door. Sink at the foot of the bed. NO space between bed and sink. Two people cannot pass through at the same time. Potty is at the head of the bed. Better know the person you are traveling with well or you will after. Think who ever designed this worked for the airlines and thought "how many cabins can we squeeze into a space".

Port Reviews

Grand Cayman (Georgetown)

Local driver and gave lots of local information. Half the price of cruise line.

Great Stirrup Cay

VERY crowded. No beach chairs, very little shade. Great buffet!
