Review summary

This was an amazing time of fun and relaxation. The ship was nice ship, the staff was great and the entertainment for the trip was top notch. We enjoyed all the ports we stopped at, some more than others, but all were worthwhile.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
The use of a scheduled appointment for embarking resulted in Zero waiting time! Much better than previous system.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Great food and service in all areas, but the specialty restaurant, Cuchina del Capitan was a remarkable feast for only $15.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
The only weak area was the availability of pools and hot tubs on this ship. The water slide was impressive, but took up all the aft area normally used for pools/hot tubs.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The shows, DJ and comics were great.

Children's Programs

No kids.

Service and Staff

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Great room for the price.

Ship tip

Try the Cuchina del Capitan. It is well worth the $15 extra cost...and ask for the tiramisu, it's not on the menu, but they will make if you ask.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida Did not visit port

Just boarded there, didn't do anything.

Grand Turk Island

Amazing place with lots of excellent excursions to pick from...

Basseterre, St. Kitts

Just walked around, but it was nice.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5
Very nice stop with well maintained areas. Flying Dutchman is a good way to wake up if you are brave enough to do it... ;-)
