Overall, a very nice cruise and repositioning. The longer cruises are nice as you get to enjoy more of the ship itself on sea days and the ports of call are ports that are rarely visited from the Florida ports as they are a tad further.

Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
I was probably too "young" to enjoy the proposed on-board activities, so I did my own thing.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
I would have wanted my comedy shows. The on-board singers and dancers were very good and gave us good shows.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Great staff all around. Room steward was awesome.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
The ship was really easy to navigate, I never got lost on it. The ship is older and it shows a little bit on the outside by some rusty spots but on the inside, it is very clean and very well maintained.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Very clean and well maintained. The movement detection sensor in front of the bathroom door can be a tad annoying on rough Seas as it will turn on the light in the walk-in area in front of the bathroom.
Aside from that, very comfortable room and bed although the pillows were a little bit soft and I prefer them to be hard, but that's a personal thing.
Ship tip
Get a room near the mid-ship area on or around the 11th floor, that way, if you still have working legs you can take the stairs up or down for every occasion. On this 11 days cruise, I used the elevators about 5 times.
Very poor island. Looked safe enough as I took a long walk on it.
Some streets and back alleys are very dirty and smelly. There is no beach you'd want to swim in next to the port area.
Beautiful port area but put on good walking shoes as you may have to walk a while to get out of the port.
Little beach area 20 minutes walk on the right of the port past all the shops l, casino and hotels just over the little bridge.
On Sundays, most shops are closed.
I was on the same cruise and yup that darn sensor light! I loved your tip. I took the stairs a lot too! I didn’t leave ship for Aruba and loved St Kitts. Curaçao was very nice too.
We found that we can put a hand towel covering up the "movement sensor's" located on the foot kick on the nightstands, takes care of the lights coming on all hour's of the night issue.
