This cruise was purchased as a Mother’s Day and early birthday gift for the best woman my wife the mother of my great kids. This was this first true long vacation with no kids. So the small details were important to the both of us in order to make lastly positive memories. The cabin played a big part of that and it was very nice. The bed (King) was comfy but the pillows were small and super soft. We needed to order extra ones and that helped with the issue. Next, the view from our room was breath taking and the balcony allowed us to sit together and have drinks while watching the sea pass along.

The food was great, and the special restaurants were very nice. The best was the Brazilian Steakhouse so good both my wife and I added it for a second night! The Japan grill house was both fun and the food was above par. The steak house (Cagney) was above average and much better than the norm for the ship. The Savor and Taste (two formal locations) were very good and did not add to the cost. The Tropicana Room (no added cost) was good for live music while you eat and listen Latin tunes which added to the mood.

The show we saw was awesome (Cir De Steam), well worth the extra cost. The ship was always clean and the staff were nice and ready to help at every turn. The Spa was great a touch on the high price side but worth it to help relax and re-charge the batteries. The downside is with the drink package we paid for the only item not mentioned is that a tip is associated with each drink (it does add). Also, have cash ready in small bills for all of the off-boat events. Tips are appreciated and really do work!

Miami

The beach is small and the chairs were broken but the sun was on point. There was seedweed in the ocean but the free drinks helped with that a lot. Plus, the pool was great and the swim up bar was perfect.....

Harvest Caye
