Onboard Activities

They messed up on karaoke nights. Sound was horrible, plus told "winners" they'd sing in theater on last night with band, but that was totally not what happened.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
THe absolute best night was The Las Vegas Tenors. Fabulous and so good, we went to 2nd show.

Service and Staff

Our room steward was fabulous, waiters were very good

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
yes, except for elevator buttons. Didn't like having to go up to 5, walk down to other end, then take elevator back down to get to theater.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
the usual. We don't need anything fancy - not in there that much.

Been here lots of time, but this time at a different place for bigger ships - like the other side better.

St. John's, Antigua

5 out of 5
Did an excursion through United Cruises (heavenly tours). The transportation was horrible and unorganized! The kayaking and snorkel was great. 4 hours was too long, too.

St. George's, Grenada

4 out of 5
no excursion; just got off for a little while; very pricey port.

Basseterre, St. Kitts

5 out of 5
Did an excursion through ship and it was excellent. Thought we were just going to beach, but it also had snorkeling and kayaking. Wonderful!

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Getting through customs and getting luggage was fine, but outside terminal was chaos and waited forever for our bus to take us to Ft. Lauderdale airport.

Never understand why people complain about the itinerary, when that is what they booked.
