Review summary

From the wait staff to our room steward these people were amazing- friendly, thoughtful and very helpful. This was my kids 1st cruise and they had a wonderful time. They really noticed how much effort the staff put into doing their jobs. 

 

As for the ship and its amenities- needs some updating. Decor was outdated and old school Vegasesque in style- gawdy and not really appealing. Needed repairs/upkeep in areas. The schedule of events was robust but it seemed like it lacked mid-evening events for older kids. Most shows were not til 10.

You need to do an excursion otherwise you'll have nothing to do. Area around the port is not developed except for the cruise greeting center/shops

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

Other than beaches there was nothing to do. The greeting center/shops is the same as any other port. If you eat/drink at the restaurant prepare to shell out a lot of $$$
