This was truly one of my BEST Cruises EVER!!! We arrived at the pier and were checked in very quickly. We boarded the ship by 12:00 and were eating lunch before 1:00 PM. Our rooms were ready by 2:00 PM and luggage was delivered by the time the lifeboat drill was completed.

Smooth sailing to Bermuda and absolutely beautiful weather. A little rough water on the way back on Saturday but when I bumped into the Captain and asked about it, he said it would clear up by the afternoon. And he was correct, by 3:00 PM, the sun was out and we were no longer rocking. Off the ship by 9am and home by 10:30 am which was just fabulous.

The best thing about this cruise was the staff. We met so many wonderful staff onboard and they all made sure we were having an amazing time. I give the credit of this to Sean the HD and Jenny the AHD. They really care about their staff and because of that, the staff care about the guests. Some people to give compliments to are the following: Vitor (F&B Dir), Luis (Beverage Mgr), Marek (Food Mgr), Ellwyn (Guest Svcs), Ligaya (HD Secretary), Ryan (Concierge), Marina (Sr. Waiter Cagneys), Budi (St. Waiter Cagneys), Irene (Jr. Bar Waiter), Paul Newman (Dance Instructor for the Cha-Cha - he was awesome!!!!), Roderick (Sr. Waiter - Le Bistro), Aristotle (Jr Waiter - Le Bistro), Dona (Jr. Waiter - Cagneys), Juanita (Hostess - Cagneys), Neil (Best Room Steward) and so many more. My family and I filled out over 100 STYLE Cards because these people really need to get praised for their hard work and dedication.

Cabin Review

Mid-Ship Mini-Suite with Balcony

Cabin MA

Great mini-suite. Enough room for 3 people to pack and unpack as well as hang out before dinner. Lots of closet space and great bathroom with a tub/shower.
