Review summary

Enjoyed cruise!  Ports of Call were beautiful - especially liked San Juan.  We walked to San Christobel Fort and around town.  View was breathtaking from the fort.  It was definitely worth climbing.  We enjoyed the beach at Grand Turk.  It was a very relaxing cruise.  Shows were good.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Food is good, not great. We did enjoy the ice cream every day!

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Less entertainment than prior cruises. Singers, dancers, and one magician/comedian at main nightly shows. Comedians in other areas of ship, but lounge was always full. Entertainment was good.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our Room Steward, Putu, did a wonderful job!

Ship Quality

Older ship, but in good condition. Clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Room was clean.

Ship tip

For those that burn like I do, there is a shaded area on 3rd or 4th deck where you can sit in the shade. It is so relaxing to sit and read or just watch the ocean.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

Take a tour unless you are looking for jewelry downtown. There are some good shops downtown facing the water.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
Walk to San Christobel - Don't pay for a tour. It costs $5.00 per person to tour the Fort, and this also covers Fort San Felipe (also covers travel to Fort San Felipe and back downtown).

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
Great beach day!

did you buy an excursion to the Fort or just did it own your own? I am going NEXT June and just trying to get ideas. Thanks!
