Review summary

All in all, a fun time. We just aren't fans of smaller ships.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Seamless getting onboard. Walked right on at assigned time.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Main dining was amazing our servers were wonderful. Specialty dinning was great, Steak House and Italian. Buffet and other dining options were crowed. Buffet was not much to our liking; line was too long, and food options were few. Sandwiches and pizza were some of our favorites.

Onboard Activities

Ship Quality

We are not fans of such small boats. Things always seemed crowded: buffet, pool area, and some bars.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Size and comfort were good. Our problem was over sprayed paint on walls. Water in cabin looked dirty... we stopped some in the sink and it was brownish orange. At times it seemed the water smelled, and you didn't feel like when washing your hands, they weren't clean.

We did a snorkel excursion with Happy Sailing SXM. Highly recommend!! They are such a fun group and very knowledgeable. We love the small group tours.

Did the shopping, sightseeing, and beach day with the Sunny Liston group. An amazing enjoyable day. We had the best beach day. If you go... bring your snorkel.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

Didn't have much time here. We walked around town and did some shopping.

Grand Turk Island

Another snorkel. This time with Exclusive Escapes. Well worth it. Again, small group. Start with a 45-minute snorkel, boat ride to where one of the captains dives down for conch. Then to a sandy beach to swim sting rays. Once again, the crew was AMAZING!!! I can't say it enough... take the small off ship excursions. The crew are friendly, knowledgeable., and they make you feel like part of the family.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Lines and lines of people trying to get off. Seemed a bit chaotic at times. Once our number was called things went smoother.
