Review summary

i have to say the crew on this cruise is awesome. They always went out of their way to greet you and ask how everything was going. Overall this cruise was pretty good. The islands that we visited were quite pretty but unless you took a tour you were just subjected to shopping at the shops that were clustered around the pier. Except for Grand Turk, there you could enjoy a beach or pool right by the pier. In our case it poured so that eliminated any possibility of swimming though some brace souls did. We also noticed that although there were "strict" if you were not on the boat the boat would leave times we overstayed by one hour in one port. There was a medical emergency which required a medical-vac and that was handled with no interruption to the cruise. Shows were good and cruise director was very professional. We also were not fans of the 2 days and a whole evening out at sea. Maybe space island visits out a little better.

Children's Programs

Can't say as I did not travel with children but there was a fight in the arcade and my husband and I had to intervene. We did not see any staff.

Ship tip

Read other reviews. You must pay for any drink except water. In the morning you do get free juice. Go to the taco place and the Guy Fiere hamburger joint. You can skip the Bar b que place as you can probably get better at home. Also try the deli!!

Do more research before to get the ports you want. The two sea days are due to the long distance you have to go from the ports you chose. You're on a boat remember.
