It is an excellent cruise with a great crew, nice ship, and wonderful food. The first and last days are colder (cruise was in February so it is to be expected), but there are plenty of entertainment options on board.

Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Everyone was very friendly and wanted to help ensure you had a positive experience.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Design and layout are great. Plenty of balcony rooms. The layout is easy to navigate. Placement of spaces is great. The only down is that the ship is starting to show age and needs a full paint and refreshing.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
We were pleasantly surprised at the size of the room. It is about 75% the size of a hotel room. There is a lot of storage and we were easily able to unpack all our belongings with plenty of room to spare.
The room was very clean and was well tended to every day. The one down is that the climate control did not work very well.
Walked around the first few blocks of town. It was very clean and the shop workers were all nice and friendly. We went back to the ship for lunch and then walked to the public beach. It was again, a nice beach (the farther you walk, the nicer the beach).
We did the VIP sailing excursion. The bus ride there was very informative about the island and how the hurricanes have decimated the island. The excursion was great and captains Ken and Tristan were terrific hosts.
