We like the Allure, the Central Park, and everything was very well cleaned...constantly.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
It was the highest-level aquatheatre room, so was probably different from the others, but we still loved it...having two rooms was perfect for us, and we had two balconies (one was quite narrow, and unable to really see the Aquatheatre show from there, but that was fine; the other was decent-sized to allow a small eating table). And the floor to ceiling windows on the ocean side were fabulous!
Ship excursion - Magens Bay and a Pirate Museum. The Magens Bay part was really bad - very crowded, rude staff at the beach, long lines for food. The Pirate Museum was fine, but small...not much in there.
Did the Island Beauty and Birds excursion through Twin Island Excursions. Very knowledgeable drivers Lloyd and Rick, with lively discussion in the van as to local customs/politics, etc. Very interesting. We loved the bird sanctuary...it was small and enclosed (guess I had envisioned a 'park' from the description, but it was fine), but the exotic parrots and other birds of lots of bright colors were friendly and came up close for food (in hand held dishes provided by the sanctuary) - great for photography. Very friendly and informative excursion.
Smooth and efficient disembarkation...love the new R/C process of having you wait in your cabin for your allotted time to disembark. So much nicer than having to go wait in a lounge somewhere.! There were no long lines or crowds... hope they keep the embarkation and disembarkation processes this new way, with the safety drill being done in your cabin on your phone! Great.
