Sail Date: Jan 2019
Cabin: Balcony

Our first experience on a "frestyle" cruise. Not a fan because it often meant long waits in the main dining rooms.

Average age on this sailing was 65 and so most activities were focused on that age group, which we are not part of. Would have liked more variety. Seems like all there was is bingo and trivia.

I also found it unprofessional for crew members to be eating at public dining spaces,.

Cabin Review

Balcony

Cabin BD

Smaller then cabins on other cruise lines I've experienced. Balcony always had a pile of chipped paint 9n the ground or in our chairs. I know the crew was working on painting the exterior during our cruise.

Cabin was tastefully decorated, bed comfortable and always clean.

Port Reviews

Puerto Quetzal (Antigua)

Took the Colonial Antigua walking tour. It was a great experience. Very knowledgeable guide, great lunch and we got to see soooo much!
