Review summary

We want to go back -----NOW! Fun and so easy to unpack once and have everything at your fingertips. Special note: they have the weakest alcohol in any of the drinks I have ever had. But they taste good; just no buzz, at all. Maybe that's a good thing.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
We were able to work our way through the hordes of people and with the help of wheelchair assistance for one of our group went to the front of the lines.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The food was good and sometimes even better than that. There were many options and unending quantity.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
The pool was crowded on the At Sea days. Pool side chairs were taken by the early risers and savers. But if you skipped the excursions or came back early the pool was yours.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The stage shows were terrific! Marvelous! Outstanding!

Children's Programs

Had no kids on this trip.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
These hard working people were always there and with a smile and greeting. Our cabin steward was very accommodating.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship was clean. It didn't take us long to figure out where our usual hangouts places were.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Of course the cabin was small but it had adequate storage for our stuff. Shirley maintained it twice daily and kept ice in our ice bucket. Would have been nice if there was a nightlight in the bathroom.

Ship tip

discover the Central Park area early on. It is a treasure!

Ports of call

Miami, Florida Did not visit port

No extra time.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5
Took the double decker open air bus for a general tour of the area.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

4 out of 5
Did a cultural tour by bus. The rotation of this tour was peculiar as I thought it should have ended in the Old San Juan area (near the pier) so those of us who wanted extra time there could stay and then walk to the ship, but that wasn't an option. Too bad for us and the merchants who could have made more sales.

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

4 out of 5
The beach area had lots to do. It was very clean. We had reserved a cover for two at the beach. We only stayed an hour as the beach was hard to walk on due to broken shells and the undercurrent was not conducive to relaxing water play. Inlet side was more calm.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
It was chaotic but because we had wheelchair assistance we had help managing the lines, elevator and cab retrieval.
