Sail Date: Apr 2018
Cabin: Obstructed Oceanview

The ship was small but nice. The cabin was exactly as it was described. The food was very disappointing. It was near impossible to get reservations at a specialty restaurant for a time that was convenient. If you don't book it right away, you lose out. The entertainment was great. I really enjoyed the shows. The onboard entertainment however was again a disappointment. The one nightclub was full of kids. Even though it says over 18 (after 11:30). The activities were ok, but the extra charge for what you get is not worth a cent. I never had a chance to go in the pool or hot tubs. So many little kids, especially in the hot tubs. Families spent the entire day in them. No children should be allowed in them under 16. The bars opened late but no matter when you went to the bar, they were always understaffed so getting a drink took a while (sometimes up to a half hour of waiting). The private beach, Stirrup Cay, was no prize. The water was very hazy. The rocks were painful. Trying to find a section to walk in the water without hitting rock was near impossible. All in all, I don't think I would cruise this line again.
