Review summary

A little challenging at times finding my way around. On holiday so what is the big deal if I have to go down and up a floor or two... exerise doesn't hurt. Missed the promenade shopping area of the Navigator of the sea (Royal Line)but the quality of the food more than made up for that. Enjoyed the promenade track for walking and sunsets and benches etc. Nice old time look and feel. The movies under the stars and while soaking in the sun was nice sometimes but such a nice quiet aft area too. Just completely enjoyed!!!

An area for everyone. Clean. Never felt crowded.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We had inside cabin on 12 floor next to laundry. Size and layout and comfort of beds great. Lots of storage. There was some noise from the ships engine but slept good anyway. Never heard any noise from laudry but rolling of service carts overhead sometimes in the night. Would choose again though.

Ports of call

San Juan, Puerto Rico

Free trolley delivers a jump on and off excursion all over the old town. Great fun checking out the sites and the "Coach Outlet"Excellent way to cover a lot of territory.

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
the beach and shops and Conch fritters at Jimmy Buffet's Marguerita Villa...
Don't Miss: MARGUERITA AND CONCH FRITTERS

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
This island is the best for shopping. Again a bus into town and back is good value. Just shopping!!!

Royal Naval Dockyard, West End, Bermuda

5 out of 5
Took day pass$12.00(which gave option to transfer around island at no extra cost) and travelled to Hamilton by bus 40 minutes and took ferry back 20 minutes. Did walking tour of Hamilton and came back and enjoyed Dockyard hidden beach and shops. All very nice and civilized.
Don't Miss: Value of travelling by bus and ferry to see Bermuda

Pros: Nothing to Complain about...The attitude of table service staff in dining room. Charming and fun and not intrusive.

Cons: I would really have to be picky to find a negative ...toilet paper too thin.
