Review summary

Great food, drinks and lots of things to do or just do nothing. 9 days was a bit too long for me this time. But would definitely recommend.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food was good, but I would recommend eating at the Specialty restaurants when you can. Definitely worth the cost and time.

American Icon Grill

5 out of 5

Bayrr was out waiter. He was awesome. Funny, engaging and truly treated us all like royalty. Dylan was our bartender and he was great too. Couldn't have asked for better service in this restaurant.

Windjammer Marketplace

3 out of 5

Lots of people.....crazy traffic, walking in front of everyone. Surprised I didn't see more collisions. Food is ok, but sometimes it was not as fresh as the Solarium Cafe

Jamie's Italian

5 out of 5

Mangia. Food was delicious. Service great and location nice and quiet and roomy. I think this might be the only restaurant on the ship that has outdoor dining tables. Definitely worth it.

The Café@TWO70

4 out of 5

Only went to this Cafe once as I didn't even know it existed and stumbled on it by happenstance. Nice little buffet with food different from Windjammer and Solarium

Boleros

4 out of 5

We met here several times for drinks before dinner. It is nice quiet bar with just enough lighting and space for our group. Drinks were good too.

Solarium Bistro

4 out of 5

If you don't like crowds....eat here not the windjammer. Same food, less people and fresher selection

Wonderland

A must try just for the experience of it. Alice would approve

Wonderful Swedish Massage on a down day. Book early.

Casino Royale

5 out of 5

Loved the Casino. This was our hangout every night. Dealers and waitstaff were great. Try the Slot Tournament that was fun too.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Music Hall

4 out of 5

Nice place for a quite spot during the day and hopping/rocking music at night. Have to check it out at least once.

Two70

5 out of 5

Need to go check this venue out. It's on the Stern end with huge windows looking out over where you have been. Very impressive and they have some neat shows and dancing there too.

Solarium

4 out of 5

I would have preferred this be for 18+ (it's 16+). Nice indoor pool/hot tub area. But got really crowded at times.

North Star

4 out of 5

This was a neat thing to do, but we did it the last day at sea. I think it would have been better to do when in port so you could see the whole port/town from the a vertical view.

Ship tip

Reserve your shows before you board, especially if you are a larger group traveling together. If you are a drinker...get the beverage package.

Ports of call

King's Wharf, Bermuda

4 out of 5
Nice beach at Horseshoe bay. If you are a nervous backseat driver. close your eyes on the ride to the beach and back to the ship.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

3 out of 5
This beautiful village is still recovering from the Hurricanes last year. It was nice, but the town literally shuts down at 6/7 pm. So don't plan on eating in the port. Also if you are going on the horseback riding excursion...check the weight limit before you book

San Juan, Puerto Rico

4 out of 5
Loved San Juan, lots of shopping from street vendors and retail stores. Nice walk around the town. But the restaurant service was a bit slow (at least at the place we stopped at) oh and it's HOT HOT HOT....bring lots of water

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5
This was our favorite day by far for all 12 of us. We took the boat out to a private island and played in the water all day.
