Review summary

Loved the itinerary, loved the workers! The average age on the ship was about 65 so we had a lot of time waiting for people walking 5 abreast through the halls at a snails pace. If you are looking for a "wild" time, this would not have been the ship to take. Lots of scooters and walkers.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Quick and easy

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
While the food was cooked perfect for the most part, the options on the menu each night did not change a whole lot. And when the items changed, they were things we would not normally order.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Amy Jo did amazing as Adelle and the Frankie Valli show was really good. One of the big shows was called Can't Stop the Rock- don't assume it is rock music, it was NOT. I think a lot of people were let down. The female singers outperformed their males way too much and it was noticeable. The dancers were all amazing!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everyone from the steward to the janitors and maintenance were pleasant, helpful and very friendly. Best service we have ever had! Shout out to Stanley, Shaltan and ChiaJwan!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Very clean, just old and a little run down.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
The room does not have a sofa, so my adult daughter had to sleep in the bunk (not happy). The cabinets are needing replaced and the chair in the room is stained and needs to be replaced. The steward Stanley did an excellent job for us!

Ship tip

save the money on the soda package, there is never any ice in the machines and it will come out cheaper by buying as needed.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida Did not visit port

I live in Florida

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

4 out of 5
No excursion, but a great day relaxing on the beach

San Juan, Puerto Rico

4 out of 5
No excursion, walked the city.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

3 out of 5
No excursion, walked the shopping area. The people were VERY pushy and some were not so nice about being turned down.

Basseterre, St. Kitts

5 out of 5
Did the 2 hour driving tour and saw everything I wanted to see! Was a great tour, our party of 5 had our own van with a driver who was awesome! The Island is BEAUTIFUL

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
The meeting area was in the lyric and was an awkward place to meet up. Once they released us, the disembarkation was fine.

Thanks for the review

I was NOT being disrespectful. Was being honest. The scooters, walkers and elderly were NOT the problem. It was the groups of 5 or 6 people at a time that were going side by side blocking any way to pass them without cutting through them. People are way too sensitive nowadays!

Do you remember the name of the Frankie Valli show? Saw one last year and loved it, so I wonder if it's the same one.

If you're lucky, you might just live long enough to become a slow walker too. Age isn't a choice!

Hope your able to walk and not use a scooter when your old. Rude and disrespectful comment
