Review summary

As always, we adore St Thomas.  It would still be better with docking at Havensite to the "new" facility.  The available tours were quite good although a better description especially including the amount of walking is necessary. 

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Much improved over past cruises although the menu still contains some items not true to the original recipe (Chicken Kiev for example) or better left to preparation for smaller groups.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Largely geared to the very young or the very old.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The cruise performers are much improved over prior years but the specialty entertainers are at best D grade.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Outstanding dining room service and superior service in the other venues. We would sail with Yalsen and Anastasiia anytime.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship is relatively easy to get around in though for those with disabilities it can be somewhat long. This is a VERY clean ship and well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Clean and comfortable. The use of the overbed storage area is a must. Cabin steward was very accommodating. Being a short distance from the elevators was very helpful and due to the ship's design there was no noise from the elevators.

Ship tip

Get to know the ship especially the location of the restrooms. They can be in unusual places. Find your place by the pool early but don't park your stuff on a chair and disappear as the pool staff will remove it after 30 minutes. Best quiet is in the Solarium where no kids are allowed.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

5 out of 5
Come a few days early as it is a nice place to explore.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
Our favorite island. Know what you're looking for and bargain hard. This is especially true in jewelry. Take the skyway trip to the top of the island.

Basseterre, St. Kitts

5 out of 5
Getting more visitors and more places of interest. We do love the fort.

Bridgetown, Barbados

5 out of 5
Always a fun place to visit. Take a tour of at least one rum distillery.
