First of all, let me give you an idea of who we are etc. We are a mid 30s couple with 2 small kids (6 and 3 1/2). We are not budget travelers by any means. We have cruised extensively, but appreciate great service, nice accommodations, and to be honest, you'll never find us staying at the Motel 6. So knowing what our standard is hopes you to put your mind at ease about all the negative reviews about this ship over the past few months.

The ship is 15 years old..does it look like the Taj Mahal? No, of course not. But the crew is outstanding with keeping her polished and in great condition. The food in the main dining room was very good. I usually say cruise food is just so-so on most ships, but this one I really felt we had some quality dinners with great service. The cabin (we had outside connecting rooms with our kids) were very nice. They have that 80-90s pink look going and could use a decorative makeover. But, I'm not there to redecorate so it is really a non-issue with us. And our kids loved the Kids Club..the last night of the cruise my oldest said to us, " I want to stay on this ship forever ". Pretty cool huh?

We had perfect weather all cruise long with stops at Ocho Rios and Grand Cayman. That made the whole experience that much more enjoyable. So if you are sitting there reading this review, don't listen to the nay-sayers. Book the cruise, we had a fun and you will too. Great value and a great time!
