Review summary

Overall minus the bad weather which was not in anyone's control we had a great time. We met some new people some of whom we will keep in touch with. We really enjoyed all the amenities that were offered.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
This was probably one of the best we had. No line except for the security which was not very long. Walked straight up to a counter and checked in and then we were onboard enjoying our vacation.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We had specialty restaurants booked for 3 nights. We went to Wonderland first which was amazing. Such a experience and so glad we decided to try. We also went to Chops which was good. We went back to Wonderland for my Birthday and tried some of the same things and some different. We were in a Junior Suite so we had the pleasure of going to Coastal Kitchen for dinner which was Amazing. The staff was so friendly and the food was REALLY good....Highly recommend. We also had the drink package which was great for specialty coffee, after dinner drinks as well as all the time anything you wanted.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The ship is full of activities and unfortunately we did not get to do everything. We did however enjoy the Escape room, IFly and Northstar. We did not make it to the gym as much but it was a very nice gym. The pools as you know get VERY crowded. A little disappointing there is only 1 outside pool but still a beautiful ship. Solarium was also always crowded but a nice place to relax.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The entertainment was good. We enjoyed the "We will rock you" show. The Gift was entertaining but a little hard to follow the story but the music and dancing were good. Spectras caberet was my least favorite. The comedian was hysterical and of course all the game shows are pretty fun.

Children's Programs

No kids

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All the staff were great!! They really want you to enjoy your vacation. I was asked by several stewards which were not ours if there is anything they can help you with. The wait staff in Coastal Kitchen was exceptional. I was on the ship for 9 days and only ran into 1 person who was not very helpful.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everything was very clean. I constantly saw people cleaning all the time around the ship. The only suggestion I would have like to see more is cleaning in the public bathrooms.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We LOVED our cabin. Very spacious for 2 people. The balcony was great as they had comfortable chairs to lay out on. We really enjoyed that the shower was separate from the toilet. The bathroom had both a shower and a tub separate.

Ports of call

King's Wharf, Bermuda

4 out of 5
We enjoyed Bermuda but, the weather was not great. We had an excursion planned that was cancelled due too windy. We ended up getting a taxi and went to Horseshoe Bay Beach.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5
We did an excursion on our own through Bernard's tours and since we chose a tour that went to both Maho & Orient beach we ended up with our own private tour. It was great!

San Juan, Puerto Rico

3 out of 5
We toured the area on our own. The weather was overcast when we got off the boat. It then decided to downpour and we were not prepared.

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

3 out of 5
The weather was not very cooperative during this port. I think I would have enjoyed this port more if we had sun and no rain. We had an excursion booked to Parisail and unfortunately it was cancelled due to weather.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We were actually called to disembark before our scheduled time. We went to the area to pick up our luggage and got online to depart. I would say this took about 15 minutes total which I thought was great!
