Review summary

Everything you imagined and more on this Eastern Caribbean cruise.  From the moment you board until you depart, the experience is amazing; the ship was extraordinary!  The staff; cheerful, polite, thoughtful, creative and respectful.  At every turn - from safety to 'top of the line' professionalism and 'over the top' magic and mystery this cruise was incredible.  The entertainment was inventive and stellar - "Chicago" Broadway/Vegas fun.  Everyday options were expansive and original; brilliantly choreographed shopping, delightful dining, athletic opportunities - sailing, art auctions, clubs for mingling and partying to flash mob dancing or line dancing.  There were even parades and theme night events. This is a well organized, creative vacation opportunity for guests of all ages - singles to families.  Impressive!  Ready to board again!

Ship tip

Dining is fantastic! Don't feel pressured to purchase the drink refreshment options. You get the souvenier cup... but not really worth it unless you drink soda all day long, or drink all day long. There are bars everywhere and specialty drinks are available. Have fun and just go for it!
