Review summary

We always have a great cruise and meet so many wonderful people. It’s really up to you to make your vacation however you want - chill out and have fun !

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Extremely quick if you have your medallion and downloaded everything- just scan it and walk on the ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Specialty dining in the steak house is something we always do, because it is always perfect. It is a must as far as I’m concerned. We ate at the seafood restaurant ( which I love ) and my wife hates seafood, so they have a BBQ on the other side of the ship and they let her order from their menu and served it in the seafood restaurant- I thought that was nice - cost is only $12 each . At the buffet in the morning I liked the omelette station - some afternoons they had either Mongolian wok type set up and a soup station on opposite days - you just put what you like on a plate or bowl and they cook it up.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Our activities were to find out what and where was the next thing to do - lol cruising is such a great vacation for us.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We go to most trivia’s and shows as we can get in. The comedy show was awesome, very clean and very funny. We love the newlywed game always a hoot. The CD Matt who was leaving the ship after this cruise was by far the best we have ever had - He and his crew were Fantastic. We had a chance to talk to and learn about each and every one of them .

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Room steward Leo was the person who took great care of our room, laundry and any little thing we needed. We have always had top notch stewards on every ship and I always show them how much I appreciate the work they do.. The people working in the specialty coffee area quickly became my best friends. Super fast and always happy.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
We were on this ship a few months back and have no complaints at all - oh and I love the medallion and the systems that you can choose to use with it.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Nothing special- just a balcony room. Like all ships the shower is very small. That being said, I would sleep in a closet if that meant I was on a cruise ship.

Ship tip

My advice is to make your cruise, vacation as happy as you can. Don’t let any little thing ruin it. Go to as many shows that you can.

Ports of call

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

We had a Kayaking excursion, well the bus dropped us off at the wrong location, we were abandoned on top of a mountain. I did walk a path I saw and found out that it was a hiking trail. Omg the views I saw were Beautiful, I headed back to the other patrons and we joked a lot about being stranded. It was really nice joking around and meeting the other people. Finally the bus came back after some in our group phoned the ship and got a taxi. Anyway they brought us to the correct place and we had a great Experience. Only 3 people let this mishap ruin it for them, the rest of us just enjoyed the time we got to know each other. They did give us back 20 percent of the cost, which I didn’t even want as it really made it more fun.

It’s a beach, if you like the beach, go early and enjoy ! I would wear water shoes.

Beautiful place indeed. We had Kon Tiki excursion, not our cup of tea, but we still had fun and met some new friends.

Disembarkation

I hate this part - leaving a fantasy life that I got to live for a week. Extremely fast and efficient.

Hey! We were on that sailing and did the Kon Tiki excursion. Not our cup of tea either. I bet we saw you, since there was only about 20 of us there lol. I was NOT one doing the limbo ;) Great review. I guess I should get going on mine. Ha ha.

I second the first comment. I wish more people would just go with the flow. We love cruising and never let the small things ruin a great time.
