Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Dining in the specialty restaurants was amazing. The main dining room had delicious meals, especially deserts. Buffets were different all the time so you weren't eating the same foods over and over.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Deck parties and atrium parties rocked. Mikey the Cruise Director was the best. He really worked the crowd and knows how to get everyone involved and having fun. There was so much to do we never even got to go in the pool!

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
We did the Power Scooter/Beach Excursion. It was fun. Wish it was a little longer with the power scooters. The beach was beautiful. They gave us a buffet lunch of jerk chicken or pork, rice, vegetables, potato and pasta salad. The staff was very nice. We also rented a golf cart and rode around the island site seeing. There are wild donkeys everywhere. Reminder- they drive on the left, golf carts are slow, natives will go around you.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
We went on the Rain Forest Bus Tour. Our guide Devin was very nice and very knowledgeable about Puerto Rico and compared prices to the mainland. We had many stops to get out and take pictures, climb a tower and a waterfall and went to the river. The island was beautiful. Old San Juan was gorgeous. They people were sweet. Calle Fortaleza, the street with the umbrellas, was beautiful. The food was excellent, we went to a small resaurant/bar across the street from the port on the corner, MI Tierra, amazing food.

Basseterre, St. Kitts

We went Zip lining in the rain forest. Our guides were Carib and Plastic Fantastic, they were amazing. I was very scared and the they said it's dangerously fun. They made jokes but calmed my fears and I did all 5 lines and loved it. I even let go of the bar and held my arms out. If you are thinking about doing this, do it!

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5
We did the Snuba Adventure. We had Mitch, Sheldon, Heather and Captain Chris. They were great. We saw a helicopter, and a submarine, statue and some reefs a lot of fish. Beautiful island. Friendly people.

Disembarkation
