Review summary

Great Staff. Our waiter and assistant waiter were excellent as we had a great table of guests (last ones to leave each night). Shows were lively and entertaining. Shops had bargains that equalled or betterd the islands. Everyone on-board was friendly and the options from swimming to any other sports activites were handled real well.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Chose the later seating and the staff provided great selections. Choosing to pre-order both soda and wine worked well. The Windjammer cafe offered a great alternative in selection and speed to the main dining areas (great for breakfast and lunch). Enjoyed the formal evenings which added a special touch

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Cruise director and his team made every effort to keep you moving with neat contests. Excursions were handled real well given we had rain at times.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Staff always were upbeat.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Ship always was immaculate as well as our stateroom. Certainly plenty of room to lounge about the ppols or to escape to one of the lounges

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Room was made up or cleaned each time we left. The special touch of towels turned into animals was a nice touch each evening.
