No problems at all...very smooth...

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Specialty Dining was fantastic...main dining room was also very good. Lot''''s of variety. Ate too much late night pizza (as Jimmy Buffett calls it, the 8th deadly sin)!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We mostly just lounged around on deck taking in the sun. Senorita una mas iced tea!!!

Beautiful ship (once again)!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We didn''''t opt for concierge this time, but basically the cabin is the same, just without a few perks that go with concierge.

Ship tip

Just go and enjoy yourselves...

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

5 out of 5
Pre-cruise, we stayed at the Hampton Inn, Plantation (same as last cruise as per recommendation from our excellent travel agent). Free breakfast, and free shuttle to Port Everglades Cruise Terminal. Shopping and restaurants nearby too.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

Visited Magens Bay Beach...very pretty.

Basseterre, St. Kitts

Wife is now a repeat customer at Kay's Fine Jewelry. I used to think the free drinks for the Husbands was just a courtesy, but now I think I'm on to them :-0

Bridgetown, Barbados

5 out of 5
Went to a beach near the port to lounge away the afternoon...aaahh...

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5
Went to Maho Beach to do some plane spotting. Had frozen Guavaberry Coladas (yummy)! Bought a bottle to bring home too. SM is still our favourite in the Carib so far...still have a few islands to visit yet...

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Do we really have to go home?
