Review summary

We all had the best time, the crew on the ship was so friendly, our room was spacious, bed comfortable, lots of closet room. Very good food, enough variety.  Entertainment was very enjoyable.    We did some wonderful excursions and especially liked the "Land and Sea to Soufrierre" in St. Lucia... don't miss this one.  The only downside was the stop in Barbados, people in town were not very friendly and the town is very depressed.  However the shopping area at the port was very nice.   You could easily skip that port and add another day at sea instead.   I would recommend this trip to anyone!

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
the outlet in the bathroom did not work, and there is only one in the stateroom. So glad I read the reviews and brought a small power strip and extension cord. We had the bed configured into a "King" and the mattresses kept separating, creating a sort of "grand canyon" down the center of the bed. Left it that way so the room stewards could see it and possibly fix it, but it continued to happen each night. Had some miscommunications with our room stewards, so didn't get any "turn down" or room clean-up a few evenings, but that could have been our fault. Overall, it was a lovely room and we thoroughly enjoyed our trip
