I would definitely do another cruise like this just because of all the flexibility of either, wanting to fill your schedule with things to do or do nothing and just relax
Embarkation

So smooth, only sat to wait to board not even 15 minutes and we were on.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Everything was just fabulous! Hands down spend the money to go to le petite chef! Go when they have the lobster, BEST MEAL I’VE EVER HAD! Only hiccup we had was dinner in the main dining room the second to last night when our pager wasn’t working so we waited a very long time, but the next day they sent chocolate covered strawberries to our room for the inconvenience. The last night we were not impressed with the selection in main dining. The selection in the buffet for lunch and breakfast was GREAT! The options for supper were very limited. Mast Grill was really good as well.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
There were plenty of options if you wanted to be super busy, but it was also just as easy to not have any plans and relax indoors or out.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
We only made it to the show Topper, and it was quite good.

Ship Quality
5 out of 5
The only part I really did not care for was it was a bit of a hassle to get to the sunset bar if it was raining. You either had to walk up an uncovered staircase or walk, uncovered from the midship elevators all the way to the back.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
The bed is right by the window. It is a bit of a tight squeeze between the wall and the foot of the bed. Overall, it was quite lovely with the gray carpet and couch. Storage was just fine for two females sharing a room.
Ship tip
Get the drink package it is so nice not having to worry about that bill at the very end of the trip, and the specialty dining is a must but I would personally skip the sushi on five.
I would advise against staying at Hilton in Fort Lauderdale Marina unless you want to stay in a building where the main elevator hasn’t worked for quite a while, and the hallways, and the only working elevator in the side building stinks like a musty, moldy smell. with outrageous room service prices.
This was on the Dutch side. It was quite rundown. We went to Maho Beach. It was extremely busy far too many people for my liking, and the beach was extremely narrow. The shops at the port was very nice and cigarettes were the cheapest I had seen.
We went to ocean world with the all day pass excursion. It was such fun and we did the sea lion encounter. Unfortunately, the excursion took the entire time we were in Port so we did not see much else.
