Review summary

The staff was very friendly, but our embarkation was delayed during a medical emergency. This kept us from leaving the port on time and cost us our stop at St Thomas...which is ok since someone's life was at stake. That's probably why the room was dusty and not clean. The food was excellent but many parts of the ship's hallways had a 'dirty mop' odor.

Actually, they skipped St Thomas due to propulsion problems, unless they fixed that. I have not heard any reports of it being fixed. Can anyone else chime in on this matter? I was hearing from others that St Thomas was dropped because the ship could not reach full speed due to the propulsion issue.
