Sail Date: Feb 2018
Cabin: Mid-Ship Mini-Suite with Balcony

The ship was ultra clean and nicely re-done, apparently in 2017. Colours, carpets, and furniture in the public areas as well as the cabins looked fresh and new.

This is a mid-sized ship (2,400 passengers) and was full on our cruise, but never seemed crowded. On sea days (4), the pool deck was busy and deck chairs scarce, but chairs were always available on other decks.

We ate often in the main buffet and found the food varied and good. Most nights there was a theme (Italian, Mediterranean etc) in the buffet which we enjoyed. The Asian section in the buffet (mainly Chinese and Indian) was fairly extensive and tasty, but often repetitive.

Cabin Review

Mid-Ship Mini-Suite with Balcony

Cabin MA

Cabin was nicely updated with new art, carpets, and great new bedside light fixtures with USB ports. Spacious cabin, more than enough room for the 2 of us.

Largish deck with a reclining chair and a regular chair and a small table. Deck was immediately above one of the gangways on Deck 4 which provided a great view of comings and goings when docked and even when tendering.

Quiet cabin except for some sloshing noises which I assume must have come from a pool or hot tub on Deck 12. Very convenient location to the Garden Cafe and everything else on Deck 12.

Bathroom is quite large with a full tub/shower combination. The tub walls are quite high - would imagine some passengers might have difficulty getting in and out safely.

Port Reviews

Miami

Miami Intl Airport and Port of Miami are fairly close resulting in a very reasonable $17 ride share service bill.

Grand Cayman (Georgetown)

We took a taxi to Seven Mile Beach. Very pretty beach.

Falmouth

We booked a walking tour (food and culture) independently online. Enjoyed it tremendously.

Curacao

Joined in a privately booked tour organized by cruise critic roll call members. It took us around the island and spent some time at Porto Mari Beach - lovely.

Aruba

Booked a walking tour independently. Knowledgeable guide. Learned some history and about the current government system in Aruba. Recommend.
