We chose this ship because of the destinations/ports of various countries...it just happened to be an 11 night cruise. After it's all over I'd say it was just long enough for us. We traveled with 3 couples and I think that helps fill the time. The days at sea were fun and nice to relax by the pool. We had some very rough seas and if seasickness is an issue I'd prepare for it.

Dining was good. Not great. We tried about everything that was included. We did not do any of the additional cost restaurants. Jasmine's was our favorite. O'Sheehans - was a fun place but I can't say the Irish food was anything to brag about. The wings were the best thing we had..

Entertainment and activities were very good. Almost too many things to do and you can't do them all. That made for a good variety of activities you could attend all day long.

Cabin Review

Oceanview Porthole Window

Cabin OG

Close to elevator/stairs which I believe to be a plus. Never heard anybody in hallways. Our cabin steward was amazing and friendly. The room was fine for 2 people. Had twin beds the first night and tried them out thinking that the extra room would be nice, but once he made the bed into a King that was much nicer for us as a couple. The beds were very comfortable. Loved looking out the porthole to check weather and see the waves of the ocean. There are usb ports next to the bed. Plenty of shelves, drawers, hangers to store your items. Maybe more hangers needed if anything. TV was nice and easy to see from bed. Soaps and shampoos in bathroom. Shower was nice and always warm water. There is a pocket door by toilet which is nice to close if privacy needed. And one of the big benefits of this room is was close to the disembark gangway - 4th floor. We were most always one of the first off the ship and back to our room easily.

Port Reviews

Colon (Cristobal)

scary town...we stayed close to ship and did not explore. Had a few beverages at local bars. Just to say we put our feet in Panama.

Harvest Caye

Way to expensive to eat and drink. It rained and didn't really get to enjoy beach. They said it was rough and there were jelly fish.

Key West

You just cannot go to Key West and NOT have FUN! Love this city!
