Fantastic cruise. We passed San Juan stop due to covid restrictions. We had an extra day at sea but with beautiful weather. Masks were mandatory but will soon be lifted. All in all, enjoyable. Best entertainment by far.

Review summary

11 days is a long time. The warmer weather makes it easy to find pool time and sun bathing. You must be able to entertain yourself at some point. But no excuses, wonderful experience. I recommend all the shows and entertainment.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Easy process getting on and off the ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Staff was fabulous. Food was good and excellent at times. They give you PLENTY of choices. We ate at Chops and Jamie Oliver's Italian. Best Bolognese I've ever had. Even want to find the recipe.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Trivia is fun but needs a bigger venue. We are a group of dancers and found it difficult to fins free time to dance. I took advantage of the track on deck 15 and the gym. Should have tried the flow rider. Bumper cars are always a thrill.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Pete Mathews! Best I've ever seen.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Above and beyond. Almost too attentive. Friendly, personal, got to know your name....Best service

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship was so clean. I appreciated people having to wash their hands before eating and there were plenty of sanitizing stations all around. Staff cleaned tables at Windjammer and enforced social distancing.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
For an inside room, I was very comfortable. I missed waking up to sun shine but the virtual window was a nice treat. My shower was spacious. I had enough storage for one person. Didn't spend much time in my room except to sleep.

Ship tip

Don't be hesitant to ask for anything. Duty Free items had good bargains. Do your research before you leave on prices if there are certain items you are hunting for. Antigua was the most expensive of the islands.

Ports of call

Cape Liberty (Bayonne), New Jersey

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

Did a resort day 30 minutes away. Had a view of the famous airport and beaches. Pleasure to watch the planes land and enjoy the sandy beaches and pool with swim up bar.

St. John's, Antigua

3 out of 5
Don't leave the dock. Hassled by many for tours. I understand it's their living but it became annoying.

Castries, St. Lucia

4 out of 5
Had to wear a mask outside but I appreciated caring for people's safety and health.

Basseterre, St. Kitts

5 out of 5
Took the 3.5 hour beach excursion to Camabola. It was not long enough. Great beach and swim area. Highly recommend going. Next time we will taxi there for the entire day.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
easy and organized
