Wonderful cruise celebrating a special anniversary. Ship was clean with great dining. Fabulous drinks at the Martini Bar! Embarkation and disembarkation very smooth and hassle-free! We would definitely recommend this ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Main dining room is wonderful. We ate there 3nights and each time was very good. We ate in 3 specialty restaurants- Tuscan, The Lawn Club, and Murano. We thought Tuscan was average, but loved Lawn Club and Murano. Murano was our favorite with tableside service and intimate atmosphere. Buffet was great. Many choices and very clean.

Onboard Activities

Pool was fun, but of course, sometimes difficult to find a chaise. Music and pool games were entertaining. S

Entertainment

Shows were good. Very modern and eclectic. But there was no extra charge to see them, so can’t complain. We saw Pearl, Cosmopolitan, and Life. All were similar but the cast is very talented. Staff and service

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship was very nice. Layout was fairly easy to navigate. All areas were clean and staff was always working to keep it that way.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was an accessible cabin so it was very roomy. Enough storage. Balcony was roomy- 2 chairs with ottomans and a table fit easily. Bed and pillows were very comfy. Bathroom was clean with plenty of storage. The only thing I noticed was that a couple of the drawers needed to be wiped out.

Ship tip

Make specialty dining reservations early, especially for Murano.

Ports of call

San Juan, Puerto Rico

Port was good considering the recent hurricanes. Had a lovely dinner in old San Juan.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

4 out of 5
Port was in good shape. Plenty of shopping. We took excursion to Meagan’s Beach. Very beautiful and had a great time there.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

4 out of 5
Port was still struggling after hurricanes but they have done a remarkable job. It had a small shopping area. We took an open-air bus tour that was supposed to include both Dutch and French sides but French side was still not ready to receive tourists. We saw so much hurricane damage -very sad. But we really enjoyed the tour as the beautiful natural sights were still beautiful!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very smooth! Not more than 40 minutes to be off and through customs.
