Review summary

Cruise overall was very good.  Dining first two days a little chaotic for some reason.  Food very good in restaurants, but not outstanding, except in the Steak House, which is $25 per person extra.  Staff is very attentive to needs.  Air conditioning in room was insufficient most of the cruise, even with an adjustment by an officer of the cruise.  Shows in theatre are dated, as are the comedy acts.  Plenty of places to drink.  All ships crew were friendly and helpful.  Since destination was so far away, more time on ship than used to, but it was very relaxing because of that; no need to rush to find an excursion those days.

In Curacao we did Eric's ATV adventures for 3 hours, which was terrific. Well organized company with very nice guides, and it was a great 3 hour excursion, and well worth the money. In Aruba, we did Red Sail Catamaran Snorkel, Lunch and Drink cruise, and it was also excellent. There were 3 stops to snorkel at, including the sunken boats as advertised, and a terrific lunch, and drinks during the cruise. Also well worth the money.
