Review summary

Way too many people for the crew to handle. Embarkation and disembarkation was a disaster. Way too long for both. I followed the line off the ship down to customs and out the door without my luggage. No signs indicating where to go for luggage. Had to find a porter to get me back inside to find the suitcases, then had to go through customs again. More paperwork. It took 2 hours from time we left the cabin until we reached our car. They charge for entertainment. $29 for regular seating and $39 for premium seating. I have never had to pay to be entertained. The ports of call were nice. It rained in St. Thomas which curtailed activities.
