Review summary

Cruise was wonderful. Food was very tasty. Drinks over priced. All the ports were beautiful. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely cruise again

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Buffet's were great, always something yummy to eat. Our main dinner restaurant was good, but sometimes I wished we had gone to the buffet. Because it looked so good.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
We didn't do any of the activities. The gym was nice, but the water fountain didn't work well and only gave warm water. There was a lot of nice equipment.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The comedy shows were excellent. Very funny and clean. The live music also sound very nice.

Children's Programs

No kids

Service and Staff

The staff always said hello and smiled. Our dinner waitress was excellent and kind. The beverage waiter was also very friendly and happy to see us. Our room was always very tidy and taken care of.

Ship Quality

We always thought the ship looked very nice.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
We had lots of closet space, and there was a tall cupboard with the safe. The bathroom had enough counter space and shelving. There was definitely enough room for the two of us. The only thing I didn't like was the pillows!! They had no support and hurt my neck. I ended up using the decorative small pillow. It was nice to relax in the room after along day and watch movies.

Ship tip

Alternative pillows. I believe I may have been allergic to the pillows. And they have no support. The gym needs a different water fountain

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

The jungle queen river boat was fantastic. Had drinks and snacks. Looking at all the boats and homes was very interesting. Water taxi was also really good, but expensive, so take advantage of the On And Off privileges. The beach is nice, theres a great Italian restaurant on the Boulevard. Best calamari.

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5
This was a beautiful beach day. Plenty of chairs and space. I bought water shoes because of the reviews, but I didn't need them. The bbq lunch was really good. I wish we had more time there.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

Unfortunately our tour got canceled due to weather. We took a bus tour which was beautiful , but was a big tease because you only saw the beaches at a distance. Next time we would just taxi to the best beach.

St. John's, Antigua

Most beautiful. Did a boating snorkel tour. You saw all the different types of blue water. Breath taking. The boat ride got a little rough but worth it in the end. Snorkeling was nice, due to the hurricane the reef was damaged. The crew provided lunch,which was wonderful.

Castries, St. Lucia

We did zip lining. It was ok. If you have never done it before, its definitely worth it. The staff were hilarious and kind. Next time we will do a different tour.

Bridgetown, Barbados

We did the catamaran, swimming with the turtles and ship wreck. The catamaran was nice and smooth. We saw 1 turtle, but lots of sting rays. Was awesome. The ship wreck was the highlight, but we didn't stay there near long enough!! I wish it was at least 45 minutes. There was a tasty lunch, free drinks and some more swimming. The water was beautiful and so clear. I only wish the tour was longer.

Basseterre, St. Kitts

5 out of 5
We did a snorkel tour and visit to Nevis. The snorkeling was beautiful. Lots of fish and coral. Lunch was also very good. The beach at Neivs was gorgeous, great for swimming and so clear. Catamaran ride was alot of fun on the way back.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Super easy, grabbed some breakfast, took it with us as we waited for our number to be called. Walked out, found our bags and left. No more than 15 minutes

Glad you had a great time and thank-you for the great review. The one I read before yours didn’t give a great one. And this makes me upset when we will be leaving in a few days. Thanks again!!πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ’–πŸ›³πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸ’–
