Review summary
I have taken 4 cruises prior to this one, so I feel comfortable sharing my thoughts about this cruise:
- Very good price for the number of stops
- Crew staff was courteous and professional: the room attendant (house keeping) did a very good job at remembering everyone's name, as well at remembering people's habits, such as time of leaving and/or coming back to the room.
- Dining: the team was nice and also did a good job at remembering your favorite food and beverage. (this was for both breakfast and dinner)
- Evening shows at the auditorium were very good (4 stars); games at the pool were fun (day time) but did very little if any during the evenings (pool areas) - They could add a drinking game or eating contest (pizza, hot dogs or hamburgers)
- I love the Cafe Shop (almost like Starbucks)
Opportunities
- Tours were more expensive than what I expected: on one of the islands my fiancé and I did a similar tour offered by the Cruise line for just $2 more and had the whole Taxi to ourselves and with an extra hour to enjoy another part of the island
- The cruise ship did not have many restaurants to chose from for dining, though they had themes days (small part in the buffet area) to break the routine but did not have much variety of foods
- The islands in the caribbean are so small that the ship, during departure, could sail around the islands for everyone to see the different beaches and points of interest
- Lots of guess like to go to the the Beach so most tours should include a beach on the way back to the ship (I know they offer some but not many, as well as they offer the Catamaran but those book quickly so maybe they should increase the number of Catamarans tours)
- Many TV shows were the same reruns day after day ( you might feel trap on a loop, like the Groundhog Day) - Please add channels to your TV
In short, this is a good cruise if you want to visit different island but as for on board to do/eat not much variety.
P.S. The gym and the rock climbing are great adds

Ship tip
There needs to be more activities in the pool areas at night, too quite and not enough action; Also Please move the smokers away from where most people are. Place them in the top area where the wind can blow the smoke away from the ship and not to the rest of the ship

Thanks for posting your first review here. Most ships do not have activities at night around the pool. Evening shows or lounge acts take place instead. Some ships do have a poolside big screen where movies are shown. These are mainly bigger ships. Carnival does have night parties poolside during cruises. These are quite popular.
