Cruise was a last minute purchase, glad I made the decision. Travelling solo was just as simple. Many activities on board, comparable to the larger ships. Although some activities were self-led, such as the singles mingle, everyone on board was very friendly. Good mixture of families, party travelers and some upper level CAS travelers. The windjammer is expertly designed for efficiency and I never felt crowded. Boleros renovation is also top notch and the live music, either Latin or Caribbean steel drum made for a wonderful evening time for drinks and conversation. Just outside the Boleros lounge is a rear deck with tables and wingback wicker chairs, a great place to sit any time of the day. Sitting areas also on both sides of the ship provided a nice break from the lido deck. Coffee available 24x7 and ice cream machine runs all day. On a 5 day cruise, four completely different headline shows, plus love and marriage game, quest. The list goes on. Don't underestimate her size, just as good as the larger ships.

Interior Stateroom

Cabin Q

Cabin was clean and tidy. Interior cabin deck 3, aft. Gets the job done. Shower curtain and small step up to bathroom.

Take a taxi to town $2-3$ depending on who you ask. Plenty to see and do. Crazy Lobster has the best deals on food and beers.
