Review summary
Islands were beautiful, cruise was ok but could have better entertainment and the drinks package was over £1000 but not worth it. We were only allowed draught mixers and small bottles of water. Seemed to be punished for having spent so much.Embarkation
Welcoming, all on time
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Buffet where my husband likes to eat as casual clothing, but the food left a lot to be desired. There was curry at most sittings and I don’t eat it, a few occasions I didn’t find anything I liked.
Speciality dining at the Epicurean was a taste explosion with top quality service.
Onboard Activities
Used the pool, in need of refurbishment. Sea days had to be up at 6 to get a bed. Cou,don’t use the pool in quiet areas as there were no bar facilities and took ages to get table service
Entertainment
Speciality acts were good. Resident bands were monotonous and droned on and on.
Children's Programs
No children with us
Service and Staff
Restaurant and cabin steward service excellent. A lot of the bar staff were rude and arrogant. I even caught a female bar steward talking about my husband as he had 2 drinks in front of him. There was a show starting so I got him another drink as it took so long when the acts started.
Ship Quality
Very clean yet some areas were tired looking with need of an overhaul
Cabin / Stateroom
Balcony cabin, great size and bed was very comfortable, balcony great size but matting on floor looked tired and needed to be decking.
Ship tip
Too many formal nights

Ports of call
Yes, we went to the waterfall and pirates of the Caribbean tour. Beautiful island and great tour
Didn’t do a tour stayed on the beach for the day, locals were friendly and rum punch was good. Food we bought from front cafe was awful
Tortola, British Virgin Islands
Went with local taxi the roads are very steep and not good if you have a fear of heights.
Did the P & O excursion reef and beach, brilliant morning with free rum punch (very strong) and went to a beautiful beach. Back to ship at 1 so then we got a taxi to St John’s beach ... stunning and definitely want to return to this beautiful island.
Amazing day with Unique tours, mud baths, waterfall, rum tasting and a speed boat to the pitons.
Disembarkation
Having to be out of your room from 8am but not leaving until 4.15 was rubbish. Such a long day with nowhere to rest or shower. Used the spa to freshen up but was so many people in there I had to get dressed in a toilet.
