To start off, the cruise itself was fantastic due to the itinerary (Jamaica, Grand Cayman, Cozumel, Mexico) and the weather throughout the cruise was perfect apart from the first day from New Orleans (quite cold)

There was a very wide range of services and facilities onboard, ranging from several food and beverage outlets to a climbing wall and cinema. Majority of the staff onboard were extremely welcoming and friendly, and definitely had a positive impact on our experience. There was a wide range of shore excursions at reasonable prices and at each port there was much to do.

The demographic of the cruise ship was definitely older, with very few young adults (18-30). Despite having many facilities, the cruise planner had very little organized activities and the activities organizers were a little lackluster. The nightlife onboard was nothing to write home about, as the DJ played older music and was the least enthusiastic DJ i have come across. As such there were very few people on the dancefloor and the "nightclub" was quite boring. The only problem we encountered with the shore stops was disembarking to get off at Grand Cayman. The tendering operation was horrible. There were no allocated time slots and thus everyone had to line up just inside the exit door and wait for the only 2 tendering boats to sail back and forth for over 2000 passengers...the line went past several cabins on the 3rd deck and snaked up to the 4th deck. We ended up leaving the ship in the mid-afternoon as opposed to morning. Read more
