Review summary

The ports were all geared to send you to a place to shop. I'm betting the cruises lines get a kick back on the shopping stops. Some folks go on cruises for the history and cultural experience not shopping at every stop.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Very fast, we were on the ship in 15 minutes.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food was better than Carnival's ships. Drinks seemed a little pricey.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Tons of activity's and the shows were excellent. You do need to book your times for some shows as they sell out.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Very clean and quiet room. We were pretty far from the elevators though. There are only two banks of elevators, near the stern and near the bow.

The tour we did was pretty lame. Went to the airport, a small cheese store and a small rum distillery in a warehouse. Never made it to the other end of the island - the French side.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

We wish the ship stayed in San Juan all day instead of leaving early so we can go to Labadee - The ships private destination.

zip line was awesome. Just a nice beach area, nothing to tour or see.
