Review summary

Pleasantly surprised that this smaller ship had everything I wanted and more. This solarium is fabulous... so much better than Oasis class with its huge pool and big whirlpools. The tiling was also pretty. My kids loved the kid activities and water slides. The mini golf was fun too. Over all, id do this trip again in a heartbeat

Embarkation

Easy and quick

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Windjammer was above par, Main dining Room never disappointed and Giovanni and Chops were great as always. I feel like this ship had a great pastry chef - all desserts were tasty and beautiful

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
My kids (7 & 11) loved the pools, water slides, mini golf, flowrider, and kids activities! I attended several trivia events and they were always well done and fun.

Entertainment

We enjoyed the shows we saw

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
My 11 almost 12 yr old was ecstatic she was able to bump up into the teen room- they even have a form for this very purpose. So wish I would have known this earlier and would have saved myself the pleading and whining for six solid months from the aforementioned child

Wilson was great!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I have been on several Oasis Class and two Freedom Class. Adventure has the best Solarium of them all! I loved this ship

Cabin / Stateroom

Loved it. So much. Had great views of all ports and it was quiet and a nice size for four.

Ship tip

There’s no Sorrento’s, but you can find pizza and a lot more in the Promenade Cafe.

2 of my party did zip line, loved it. We rested a floaty for the day and it was the best $19 I ever spent

San Juan, Puerto Rico

Shopping is always good. Checked out Raices and their mofongo. Didn’t really like it but it was fun to find the place and try anyway

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

Rented a beach umbrella for the morning and then went shopping... so great! Just don’t believe anyone when they say their bathrooms are clean... check them out yourself! :)

Basseterre, St. Kitts

5 out of 5
Took a Beach break excursion thru ship. It was fine, didn’t get a chance to order any food before we left so I was pretty hungry when we got back

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Not really anyone’s fault but it was super slow and we were two hour shift later than what was suggested out leave time would be. Didn’t bother us- we were heading to a hotel, butnthose with flights were probably sweating buckets

Glad to hear your kids liked the programs. My niece is 7 and is going on her first cruise next year on Norwegian, so it's nice to hear kids her age loved the kids programs!
