Review summary

We were concerned about the large size of the ship, but found our way around after a while.

Embarkation

1 out of 5

Embarkation was much later than advertised leaving thousands of people crammed into area too small.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Chops Grill was excellent. Buffet was average.

Onboard Activities

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Children's Programs

No children

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Room steward was excellent, others were very good.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

The design and layout of the ship was very good. Often it didn't seem like there were 6000 passengers.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Our cabin was in the perfect location.

Ship tip

Definitely make reservations for everything before you sail.

Thumbs up

Ports of call

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

4 out of 5

Although we love St Maarten, the $7.00 water taxi will cause many people to stay close to the ship and not contribute to the economy.

San Juan, Puerto Rico Did not visit port

Been there

Thumbs Up 0

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island) Did not visit port

Been there many times and there were thousands of people getting off the ship. It would have been too crowded.
