Review summary

The carpet on the lower floors is worn out to bare spots, the service was fair at best. Although some of the service staff was very good, the over all attitude of most was fair at best. If you can get a great price, this is a great vacation, if the price were close to other cruise lines, take the other lines for better service. The food was very good, great ports and I would go again if the price was low.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Entertainment

1 out of 5
The shows are outdated, with music that even the older passangers are sick of. When I commented to the entertainment staff about the dated and rather dull "entertainment" the comment was that it is too expensive to changed shows and sets. The best show was the last night when the guests peformed.

Service and Staff

1 out of 5
Aside for the recipes that I requested and did get, the over all attitude of service was disappointing and rather poor in general. The attitude of many of the staff was rude and very unaccomidating.

lower prices than any other port for just about anything, also beautiful beach right in the shopping district, must get back here, loved this island. Easy to get around use the water taxi for $6.00 all day long, fast back to ship for lunch and drop off items and then back to shop and swim, loved this island.
