A beautiful visit to lovely islands. People were friendly and the weather was perfect for us. We slipped in between hurricanes. The boat is well maintained and right sized for us with about 2800 guests. Service is impeccable. Food was good. Entertainment in the theatre was top-notch. Certainly enjoyable.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
We arrived slightly before our scheduled time and got right on. Was surprised how far parking was (3 blocks) from the terminal and the signage was confusing.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
We had a drink package for the first time and thus over-indulged but found the range of available drinks on the classic was good. Liked getting fancy coffees (and some with shots) at Al Bacio and the slushee type rum drinks at the Mast bar. I found the choice of desserts disappointing. I love souffles and there were zero. Of course, the fish and lobster entrees were perfect. Soups were inventive (celery and apple) but a bit weird. The staff performed impeccably.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
We did progressive trivia and our host Bradley was great and the questions only medium hard. Still, we lost.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
The production shows were breath-taking. The dancing and singing really excellent. And the aerial performances were edge-of-the-seat. The guest performers from the comedian juggler to the Stevie Wonder tribute were good too.
Children's Programs
no children
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Service was amazing. We loved our sommelier Sofia and our waiter. Our cabin steward worked with us on our strange sleeping schedules. So nice.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Old ship. But well maintained and pretty decor.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
I thought I would be more enamored with the aft cabin but it is some pricier and not worth more than looking sideways off the ship.
Ship tip
Avoid the Lido deck crowds for breakfast and settle for the free pastries and fancy extra-cost coffee at Al Bacio
We planned out our own shore excursion by contacting Quin Farara (find them on facebook) Rum shoppe and distillery. This is a third generation family owned business and Lisa the granddaughter did our tasting and rum punch making demo. It was such a good time getting to know the group there and the rum is fantastic. I recommend that you contact them!
