Review summary

The well-trained staff anticipated our needs and were capable as well as friendly. There was a sewer smell in the bathroom, but it was being worked on. Labadee was a terrific experience and worth the price of the cruise. The meals were not quite to the callibre of Voyager, but still bery good. However, Chops was excellent in terms of food and service. The shows were good, but limited. The lounge entertainment was superb as were the staff there. The experience was still exciting and the ship as well run on the 11th day as on the first. A set of forward elevators would be helpful, as well as louder elevator arrival bells.

Ports of call

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5
It is a notch above the competition in ambiance, facilities, location and beauty. It was balanced for all ages with a great staff
Don't Miss: Dragon's breath

Oranjestad, Aruba

3 out of 5
The island risks overdevelopment
Don't Miss: The glass bottomed boat to the reef is great.

Puerto Limon, Costa Rica

5 out of 5
The stark contrast between the visitors and the residents should impress the visitor from more affluent areas. The country's dedication to its people and environment is impressive.
Don't Miss: The trips to the National Park are well worth the time.
