This was our way of celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary from last September. Normally we take 7 day cruises but decided to splurge a little with a longer cruise.
The ports of call were good, as two (Ponce and Grenada) were new to us. The ship was ok but sometime was hard to get around from place to place. We didn't share the feeling of love for this particular ship as some others have on other reviews. There were several disappointments in main dining room with food, including multiple occurrences of cold and or uncooked entrees. We ordered a fish entree one night and it came out almost entirely raw. Others in our table of 10 had similar experiences with cold food, all of which were taken care of quickly and to their satisfaction. Fortunately you can order another entree in its place (or in addition to) and it arrives fairly swiftly. Service at dinner was excellent.
Cabin steward was efficient and responsive. Biggest problem was that he always had his cart right outside our door on the other side of the hallway and it made it a little difficult to get into the cabin.
