Review summary

This cruise was to celebrate our 40th anniversary. Overall very relaxing and enjoyable. Cannot emphasize enough how good the staff was from the cabin steward to the waiters (both on serving line as well as tables.)

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Very orderly with no issues

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Generally good; scrambled eggs were out one morning; had to go to another station.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Adult pool too small for number of people on ship. Togetherness to the extreme.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
El Geocho and Scott were great; need more Broadway type shows.

Children's Programs

No kids

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Room Steward Kiefer was great; really went out of his way to make our stay enjoyable. Waiters Sedrick and Iputo were exceptional; we chose their station each night for dinner. So pleasant and personal.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Old ship but clean. Needs sprucing up (outside rails painted,etc.)

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Everything satisfactory except sunken bed on one side.

Ship tip

Get to the adult pool early if you want some space; same applies to deck chairs at adult pool.

Ports of call

San Juan, Puerto Rico Did not visit port

Only embarked from this port.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

4 out of 5

Basseterre, St. Kitts

3 out of 5
Port was amassed with solicitors. We did the Swim with Dolphins excursion which was outstanding.

St. John's, Antigua

5 out of 5
Also lined with solicitors. We lucked out and were approached by a taxi driver who already had a couple on board. Wanted to take us on island tour. We did, price was reasonable; driver was knowledgeable, and we enjoyed the tour.

Castries, St. Lucia

4 out of 5
Only walked around; did not do excursion.

Bridgetown, Barbados

4 out of 5
Only shopped at immediate docking area; no excursion.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very smooth and well organized.
