Review summary

We had a good time. Gorgeous ports and loved the excursions! We were surprised that most of the people on the ship were 60-80 years old. The entertainment was not as good as I have come to expect on other cruises.

Pools were very nice. Fitness center was a perfect size with good variety of equipment! never had to wait for a machine! Trivia was good. Silent disco was incredibly fun! Loved that the DJ and band were on the 2 of the channels and competing for attention.

Ports of call

San Juan, Puerto Rico

Very nice that old town was walkable. The problem was that many of the shops closed before we got off the ship.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

We did a snorkeling excursion which was fun. We saw a few sea turtles. There were not many fish around the reef we went to.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

4 out of 5
We went to a close beach that overlooked the port. The water was not beautiful and the beach was very crowded.

Tortola, British Virgin Islands

5 out of 5
Absolutely gorgeous! We did an excursion to Virgin Gorda, which was beautiful. We brought our own snorkel and had fun snorkeling when we were at the beaches.

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
We wandered around the port. The port was beautiful. Very clean and felt safe. The free pool and lazy river was a great addition.
