Simon London the cruise director was great. He made sure that everyone got involved. The best time was playing music trivia in the atrium in the evening. It was hilarious.

Service and Staff

Every member of the crew was great. They are so very hard working yet always smiling and friendly.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Especially love that deck 5 goes all the way around the ship. Took a walk everyday. The ship was very clean considering how many people there are on board.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Gilbert our cabin steward was great.He kept it nice and clean. I think the cabin is the standard size for a balcony. I do think that they could add some color to it. The bed was o.k.

Ship tip

Eat at Guy's Burgers.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

3 out of 5
The beaches were a disappointment. There was so much seaweed you could not walk by the water. Also the red and blue flags were out and in some areas no swimming was posted.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5
This was my most favorite place. It is so beautiful there. The water is clear with a white sandy beach. Lots of beach chairs. Waiters to bring you drinks. Who could ask for anything more ?

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
We did a catamaran shore excursion and had a wonderful day. The water is clear and the beaches are beautiful.

Oranjestad, Aruba

4 out of 5
Palm beach is very nice. Excellent walking beach.The only thing about Aruba is that it is always windy and thats o.k. except sometimes the sand hurts. We did a resort for the day at the Rui. Did not think it was worth the money.

Willemstad, Curacao

4 out of 5
We did a partial submarine excursion and visited the Liquor factory. It was interesting and we saw a lot of fish and a sea turtle up close. There was a diver feeding the fish. Do not take this excursion if you have issues with motion sickness or claustrophobia.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Everything went smooth and easy.
