Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

We avoid the Hoizon Court at peak times due to crowding. The MDR staff were excellent.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Much of the same old stuff. They need something new for repeat cruisers. The best was the crew show they did better than most of the "professional" entertainers.

Service and Staff

Cabin / Stateroom

We had an OV and loved it. With all the wind and rain, a balcony would have been a waste of money.

Ports of call

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

Finallly some sun! Nice BBQ lunch included. Pretty much just a place to lay out in the sun. The snokle sites here are a joke, don't bother with that.

Our tour was cancelled. It rained on us and we had the port away from downtown so not anything much near the ship.
