Review summary

The cruise in itself was beautiful. All of the islands were gorgeous and the trip was relaxing. What made this particular cruise so amazing was the service and the people involved. Our servers, Nonilon, Alejandro, and Patrick were as good as it gets. They were fast and entertaining and made us sad to miss dinner on the night we had a reservation at the Pinnacle Steakhouse. The workers at the Spa were all incredibly welcoming and helpful. My husband and I spent a good amount of time in the casino playing table games during our cruise. I don't think we would have continued to come back to the Casino if it had not been for the dealers. Their varying personalities kept the games fun and different as each came and went. If I had to mention one it would be Cozmin, he had a great sense of humor and was a able to hold a conversation while still being completely accurate and dedicated to the task at hand. It was a great cruise and I highly recommend it.

Unless you are going to use the spa, don't do the spa room. The spa was never crowded though so if you will use it, then it is great.

Ports of call

San Juan, Puerto Rico

We did not spend much time here but all of the workers told us they loved San Juan.

The ship has a sign suggesting you don't rent scooters, we didn't see it until after. Don't rent scooters, people drive a little crazy and I am glad we didn't have any accidents.

Even more beautiful of an island. Take an early snorkeling trip out to Buck island with Captain Nautica then spend the rest of the day at the beach.

Grand Turk Island

If we ever go to this island again we will skip the excursion and just taking snorkeling gear to one of the very close and beautiful beaches.
