I’m writing this review as part two covering the last 10 days of a 21 day back to back sailing so I can detail the second cabin and Eastern Caribbean ports. For a more detailed overall review of our sailing please first see my part one as this will be a shorter review covering only things specific to this sailing.

As back to back passengers we were able to be some of the first allowed back on the ship, Yacht Club and special assistance passengers were gathering as we were queued to re board just ahead of them.

We then slipped by our cabin, met our steward and were able to drop off our carry on bags before heading to lunch. Aurea guests are allowed to eat in the lower Black Crab restaurant for embarkation day lunch, don’t miss this as it is one of the best lunches you will get on the ship, including special items available only that day.

Arthur, our head waiter, was able to get one assigned and again we had good service with great company for all our MRD meals. I want thank the Divina dining staff for being so accommodating with our multiple special requests. Read more
