Review summary

We had a great warm weather cruise and escape from the winter.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Easy and quick.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food at the Buffet was very good and had daily Chef specials. Main dining room food was very good. Loved the Rooftop Grill. We loved the free tarts at Cafe AL Bacio.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Hubby enjoying the golf chipping contest, quarterback challenge and archery. We did the street Curling together. I also played music bingo at the Martini bar.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Shows were very good. Must get to theatre or Eden at least 30 minutes prior.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Service was very good. Our room steward, who serviced our room twice daily, was outstanding. Service in Cosmopolitan and Normandie dining rooms and the soecialty restaurant's were excellent. Service was a little slower in Tuscan.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Beautiful ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We had a porthole balcony cabin. It is a true balcony although it's covered and smaller than a typical balcony. Still enough space to have breakfast. There was outlets on only one side of the bed.

Ship tip

Great ship, service and food. If you are looking for a kid friendly ship, this isn't it.

Ports of call

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
Enjoyed self-exploring. Wish we could have arrived earlier in the day.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5
We did a private excursion which we enjoyed. Maho Beach was hubby's favorite part of the day.

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
I enjoyed the port area including the lazy river. Hubby did a non ship dune buggy excursion which he enjoyed.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
We did a ship excursion here- Drake's Seat, Magen's Bay, and Skyride. It was a very good excursion. Loved visiting St. Thomas. Would love to visit St. John on another visit if we have a longer day.

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

5 out of 5

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Did self-disembark. No problems. Caught a cab outside the terminal.
