Review summary

It was a great cruise. We loved the ports of call, the ship, the cabin and the entertainment. Jamie's Italian was excellent. My only hiccup was that I needed the WiFi to attend some meetings for work, and it didn't work in our cabin. Trying to find a place where I could connect and have privacy was difficult. I wasn't able to get much done, so I wasn't happy about that. All the ports were fun. We walked through Old San Juan, and in St. Maarten we took a tour of the island. In Antigua we went on a beach excursion and then went shopping. Our St. Lucia tour took us to Marigot Bay, which was lovely. Our last port, St. Kitts & Nevis, gave us an opportunity for a final beach trip to Carambola Beach Club. Truly wonderful vacation! So glad I went.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Main dining room restaurants were chaotic, and food was hit or miss. Most of the times it was great but there were some misses. We ate at a specialty restaurant one night and it was fantastic, and the buffet was surprisingly good.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We loved the Northstar, and we enjoyed lots of trivia. There's a lot to do on the ship, we didn't get to it all.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We Will Rock You & Spectra's Cabaret were terrific. There were circus acts, bands in every venue, and wonderful headliner shows.

Children's Programs

We didn't have children with us.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our stateroom attendant was great, and service was very good in most places. The baristas were fantastic.

Cabin / Stateroom

Not too small for an inside cabin, everything worked, except we couldn't get a WiFi signal. Bathroom and cabin were clean. Bed was good.
