Really good! Maybe more people than I would have liked on the ship, but it does hold over 3,000 passengers! We did meet a lot of fun people from all over.
All and all a great time!!
Embarkation
4 out of 5
Good. A little confusing with the luggage. We should have just wheeled it to our cabin ourselves. We got it late and couldn't change for dinner. Everything else was pretty smooth.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
We liked the main dinning room for breakfast, lunch (when available) and dinner of course. Liked being able to get a late night snack at deck 5 pizzeria. Not a big fan of the windjammer. Food was good, but just way too many people, and a little chaotic. We only went 3 times. We were very happy that most people went there so we could enjoy the dinning room. The wait staff in the dinning room was top notch the entire time, and very friendly. Head waiter very accommodating when we couldn't make 1st dinner one night and he made sure we could sit in 2nd dinner same area. Bottles of wine are very expensive with a 18% gratuity. We should have just done the drink package.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
So many activities we couldn't get to most of them.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
All really really good! Lots of fun! The main or lead entertainter was everywhere! She was great! Very funny! Loved her.
Children's Programs
We didn't bring children, but this ship did have a lot for them it seemed. We were surprised how many school age kids where on board 9/2-9/9. We picked this time of year thinking there would be less kids. I couldn't imagine what summer would be like!
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Everyone was extremely nice and accommodating. I think they needed more staff for the shore excursion desk and guest services, but besides needing to ask questions it was easy to book shore excursions on the cabin TV when we knew what we wanted. Our evening waiters Veronika and Abigail were wonderful!!
Our room steward Nelson was great, and the other 2 we saw in the hallway a lot were extremely nice too. The captain was good and very calmly kept us informed about the hurricane and all needed info with that. They kept us in beautiful locations with calm seas.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Everything was very clean and well maintained. I prefer the more classic interior ship design than the adventure, but it was still very nice. We were on deck 9 aft which was very clean, smelled nice. Did notice on deck 9 towards the bow it didn't smell as clean. Kind of musty dirty sock smell.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Very comfortable for 2, but we're not big people. The bed was actually really comfortable. Liked all the well designed places to put things in the cabin.
Ship tip
Be prepared for a lot to do if you want to, and if you want a ship that has a lot for kids, this one seemed to have a lot.
Great, Ive been to this port a lot I so alway pick something new to do. We did the swim with sea lion excursion. It was good, little expensive. Happy we didn't have a big group, beautiful location. Great vistas from the van ride back to ship. Driver would slow down so we could take photos. We were the only ship in that day so that was nice! We were there 3 days before Irma hit.
Cute downtown for photos etc, but defiantly a good island for an excursion. You get over the downtown pretty quick. We did the historical tour that did the caves and curaçao liquor. It was good for the first time there, but since we stayed there later we could have done a longer excursion.
It was good, ship stayed in port a long time which meant less people onboard in the eve. We did the UTV excursion which was great, but the ship should of had a better description of the tour and what to bring. Defiantly close toed shoes, and aqua socks. Went to Palm beach after. It was nice but a little crowed.
Hurricane Irma.... We went to Bonaire instead. It was a very cute, quaint island. We did the small group boat snorkel, really good, just not long enough. Would have liked to have seen more of the island, but the afternoon tours from the dock would have had us cutting it close to be back on the ship.
