My husband and I went on this cruise with our family. in total there were 11 of us, 10 adults and one 7 year old. We had an awesome time doing things together on and off the ship, but it also allowed us to do things separately if we wanted because there is so much space and so many options. My niece was able to go to almost everything with us but there were a few times that she went to the children's programs with no issues there - she actually was begging to go there other times when she was with us! We loved the relax atmosphere of being on the ship and not having to do anything or be anywhere specific if we didn't want to be. I honestly loved being on the ship more than I liked visiting the islands though we did have some good times on the shore, too! My husband and I are now trying to figure out how and when we can go on a cruise again because we loved it so much.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
The dining room food was wonderful. The buffet was not quite up to par, but it was nice to have so many options. Room service options were also very limited, especially for breakfast. But overall, we ate very well and enjoyed not having to cook for ourselves!
Onboard Activities

Entertainment
3 out of 5
The shows were fun, but the cast lacked some talent. Their dancing was good, but voices were subpar. My family was very excited about the "piano bar sing along with Andy" that we saw on our programs and made it out one night. However, we could hardly stay for more than a few songs because Andy was incredibly inappropriate and just made the environment very uncomfortable. He made jokes hitting on just about everyone in the bar and turned every comment into something sexual. It was really disappointing because otherwise it would have been very fun as my family loves singing.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Almost all the staff that we encountered was wonderful. We had fun doing 80's music Trivia with Brad and had mostly wonderful service in the Sensation dining room, especially from Rennie.

Cabin / Stateroom

The room was great for my husband and I. We loved having a window and were very happy with our space.
Ship tip
If you are doing "your time dining" in Sensation Dining room, try to go earlier in the night. Around 6pm or so. We went at this almost every night and had little to no wait, but as we were leaving at 7:30-8 there was almost always a long line of people waiting.
We spent the afternoon at Tiki Bar beach. It was $15 roundtrip per person to get there from the dock and the beach was very nice. They had chairs and umbrellas and a bar/restaurant there on the beach.
We did a "sea to sky" excursion with Carnival Sailing (not related to the ship). We took a catamaran to Soufriere were we did ziplining, took a tour, and ate at an old French plantation. Very cool! We took the catamaran back and got to stop and snorkel for a short time and the rest of the trip back to the boat the beer and rum punch were flowing! They dropped us off right next to our ship which was really nice because I'm not sure if we would've been able to walk much farther. hah!
We did a "jeep safari" with Blue Bubbles that I absolutely LOVED. We got to see so many different parts and views of the islands and had a great time with our tour guide.
