Perfect cruise for a 4 day holiday vacation. Better to choose an itinerary that includes Havana, Cuba, where only small ships can dock. CAUTION: IF YOU ARE ONLY 2 PEOPLE WHO WANT A KING-SIZE BED DO NOT TAKE A ROOM WITH BUNK BEDS as they protrude out into the room, even when closed! Be aware cabins are small. The entertainment was outstanding. The ship is small so it doesn't take long to go from one end to the other. This ship was re-acquired by Royal Caribbean for trips to Havana, Cuba, as it's the only one in their fleet that can it in the port. It's well-taken care of and being small makes for a very friendly crew. Food was very good and the entertainment was outstanding. We were on this ship twice within a month, once to Costa Maya (our favorite "hidden" Mexican port) and Havana ( a great time here). The second was to Cozumel, but was a family Memorial Day holiday cruise. We have planned to return to this ship going to Havana (overnight) next year at this time. There are limitation on this ship because of it's size. As long as you understand this, you should have a great time!

Cabin was tiny, so don't expect to spend much tome there. Caution: if you are only 2 people who want a king-size bed do not take a room with bunk beds!
