Review summary

Great cruise. Three of us shared a mini suite and had plenty of room and personal space. Only complaint about the room was the grimy glass on our balcony. I ended up washing off the salt and grime myself. Then we could sit in our chairs and watch the world go by without obstruction. ( I did ask our cabin steward but he just wiped down the railing) Embarkation was extremely easy. We were scheduled to board at 1:00, but were able to at 11:30 with no problem. Food was terrific. Our only disappointing meal was at the Crown Grill. We had 8:00 reservations and were seated right on time. However our waiter was slammed so our time there was extraordinarily long. By the time our main courses arrived, we were not hungry anymore. We did not leave until after 10:30 and it was not due to us ordering a lot. Sabatini's is well worth the extra money. Food and service was spectacular. MDR was consistenly good and the buffet had plenty of choices. Crooners Bar and the Bar at the Aft pool were fun places to be. The bartenders are very personable and the drinks were yummy. At Princess Cays we took the bicycle tour of the island. It was ok once you got going. In St Thomas we did the snorkeling trip on the Castaway Girl. Stopped at sea turtle cove and at a shipwreck. It was a lot of fun and I would highly recommend this. In St Martin we did the Flying Dutchman Zip line. That was fantastic and worth the money. Disembarkation was very smooth. All in all a wonderful trip.
