Review summary

The ship was small but because of this it felt so personal. There were several times we went up on the top deck and were the only ones up there. It felt like we had it all to ourselves. The crew was awesome. They were all so friendly and professional. The camp carnival for kids was great. They loved it and it gave my husband and I some time to ourselves. It was a great experience!

Cabin was fine. Needs a little updating and wish the windows would open but otherwise it was good. Plenty of space to accommodate a family of 4

Ship tip

If you go to St. Thomas, have your i.d.'s. They are real jerks about it and won't let you through without it.

I totally agree. We sailed her last December.. I loved that we could go anywhere on her and have a table or lounger available.. I hear so much about people fighting over them on the bigger ships that I am not sure bigger is actually better.. That's all I want to do on vacation is to sit and enjoy the breeze sunshine and cool drink.. Too many people could make or break a vacation .. Love this ship
