Review summary

My mother (almost 72) and I ( almost 50)were asked to join a group of 8 ladies that were already going on this cruise. Since a cruise was on our bucket list, we said sure we'dlove to go! The whole 7 day cuise was amazing! The shows were top notch with talent, signing and dancing for all ages to enjoy!  We were shocked at how large the casino was also. The staff are always happy and smiling.Our main waiter at our sit down dining ( Michael) went up and above his job. The cleanliness was also noticed. The hallways were constantly being cleaned/vacumed. The turn down service 2x a day for our stateroom were so nice. We loved the little animals made out of towels that were left on our beds! We would also recommend  you purchase the Fast to Fun Pass.This lets you get on the ship first, to your rooms first, and off the ship first.No waiting in lines. The cruise director Filepe was amazing and so funny!! The ship had volleyball, basketball, ping pong, pools, hot tubs, a walking track, movies on the big screen outside, and massages!  Of course the-all -you -can eat- food was delicious!  And having ice-cream cones everyday was a treat! We met so many amazing people and workers! The comedy club ( Blue Beard) was awesome!!! The excursion desk was helpful in telling us about smaller things to do ( we had already booked ahead of time Zip-lining in St. Lucia, and sail and snorkel in St.Johns).One excursion was just going to a beach and relaxing with a cold drink. What a vacation to remember! Thanks!

Cabin / Stateroom

Our stateroom was more spacious that expected.I will continue to pay for a balcony room. The other rooms with no windows too small. Hated only one outlet but I guess they blow fuses if too many? great showers and big bathrooms in the balcony rooms.

Ship tip

Bring insulated mug, you can fill it with coffee/ water/lemonade. Save empty water bottle, fill it before excursions. Invest in 2 of the pictures they take of you.Bring dramine,you might feel the rocking of the ship.Drinks and tips are a done w/ your Sail & Ship card.

if you take taxi into town, make sure your back BEFORE THE BRIDGE GOES UP or you'll be stuck on the other side when ship leaves!

I'm 46 and we love cruising. I've been trying to get my mom to join us, but she (and my brother's family) never want to go. I plan to show them your review! Glad y'all had a good time!
