Review summary

I loved the ship and found the service to be excellent in most cases. Food was good. I have had better on other lines. One thing the ship could do is have simple snacks at the bars. There was no place I could find to get wings or popcorn. All in all, I would cruise on this ship again.

Ship tip

Tip your cabin stewards good. Of course as long as they do a good job.

Ports of call

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

4 out of 5
We were the only ship in port. Not sure why we did not dock at the normal port. We had to take a longer cab ride to our excursion in town. Otherwise the port itself was okay.

Frederiksted, St. Croix, U.S.V.I.

3 out of 5
The port is not very nice and not much to do right at the port. The small town by the port is dirty. Next time we go to St. Croix I would either stay on the ship or do some kind for boat/snorkeling excursion.

St. John's, Antigua

3 out of 5
Not one of my favorite ports but the island has beautiful beaches.

Bridgetown, Barbados

4 out of 5
Love this island but there some issues with the Jolly Roger excursion we did through Celebrity.

Castries, St. Lucia

5 out of 5
We had a blast here! Did a zip line excursion with Celebrity. Beautiful island!

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5
Love St. Maarten! Rented a 4 person buggy and drove around the island. Stopped at Orient Beach for lunch and a drink and then drove by Maho.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Border Patrol used Facial Recognition instead of looking at the passports. It was the quickest and easiest Disembarkation!
