Review summary

Our cruise started out wonderful with the help of our travel agent, Paula Elliott. We love the Caribbean and have experienced glorious weather, except for one day. We met some lovely people and were impressed with the dedication, professionalism, and friendliness of the staff. We will be back!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
This was one of the best embarkation experiences we've had...efficient and quick.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
A changing menu daily which included the ethnic dishes of the islands visited.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Used the jacuzzi and cabanas....clean and available. Enjoyed having the adult section away from the children.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We enjoyed all the shows especially the Epic Rock production. We went to all the comedians which were excellent and in specific enjoyed Spike Davis. We have a recommendation that the comedians immediately follow each other so that you don't have to leave the showroom and turn right around and go back because of the popularity of the comedians. Randii Andii was great host. We enjoyed the Piano Bar featuring Ben Gentry every evening. The Welcome Aboard Show was very disappointing. We had hoped there would have been more afternoon trivias after being on excursions in the mornings. The trivias were mostly held in the center of the ship and were crowded and we believe other bars/showrooms would have been a better choice. The Love & Marriage show was fun. We missed not having group games such as Majority Rules which we have enjoyed on previous cruises. The wonderful variety of music throughout the ship appealed to all tastes.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room steward, Eko, was wonderful. He handled all our requests and kept our cabin in excellent condition. Our team Headwaiter, Felix, Team waiter, Rohit, and Team waitress, Reila, were friendly, efficient, and wonderful. We were able to request and get a table in their area daily. We had anytime dining so we feel fortunate to have been able to enjoy their service. All the workers we came into contact with were amazing. We enjoyed the Fun Staff especially Mat, the cruise director.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The ship was clean and well maintained but it is in need of a definite update. Controlling a consistent temperature throughout the ship is difficult but many bars or showrooms were frigid.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
This cabin was very nice...wish the balcony was a little deeper. The storage was amazing on this ship. The shower could be a little larger but the storage there was also adequate.

Ship tip

It is a much older ship in need of updates but the crew and staff are wonderful!

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

5 out of 5
Love Ft. Lauderdale. No excursions.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5
We had been to St. Maarten before and walked around on our own. Enjoyed it. Good prices.

Basseterre, St. Kitts

5 out of 5
We enjoyed St. Kitts. We went on the 10 best tour excursion because it was our first visit here. Our guide was very good.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
This was our second visit to San Juan. We like the city. We had very little time at this port. We walked on our own to the forts. There was little time for shopping or eating there.

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
The port was new, clean and beautiful. We did the 10 best tour because this was our first experience in Grand Turk. Our guide was also excellent on this tour. Next visit we will just relax on the beach.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We opted for the late disembarkation time. Efficient, quick, and one of the best out of 10 cruises.
