We chose this cruise as we love the Caribbean and it fit in to my work holidays. This was our first ever cruise so needless to say we were really excited about going. Not sure if we chose the wrong cruise (too many sea days in a row), if Covid had an impact or our expectations were just too high but I can honestly say we were underwhelmed. The port days and the organised excursions were fantastic. The cleanliness and the staff were excellent. Entertainment was very underwhelming, I expected the shows to be West End quality. The 2 shows we saw were good (not exceptional) and then there was a magic act repeated twice, a Phil Collins tribute act, repeated twice and I can't remember what else. The external acts in the Limelight theatre were however, brilliant (Ray Quinn and Toyah, we never saw 4 Poofs and a Piano). We loved dressing up on the formal nights but there was nothing special about the nights themselves, so although we enjoyed dressing up, it seems a lot of effort for nothing special going on. We had 1 speaker on board whilst we were there and he was very good. We joined in some of the quizzes but for us coming back across the Atlantic as it is getting colder towards home, there just wasn't enough on board to entertain and we spent a lot of time in our cabin watching films (a rather expensive way to watch a film). All the food we ate in the speciality restaurants was of a high standard and tasty, although to pay extra for a burger in the Beach House we thought was a little too much. The food in the MDR and the buffet was good but very very repetitive and we expected more on formal nights in the MDR.

I am not saying I would never cruise again (as I wasn't sea sick and there were some good points), but I won't be in a hurry to rush off and cruise again.
