Review summary

If you are looking to relax, this is the perfect cruise. If you are looking for varied activities on the ship, this is not really the place. The food is excellent but the bar prices are very expensive.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Food was excellent but service was unusually slow.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

The shows were excellent and varied. However, the on board activities during the day especially when at sea were not all that great.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Cabin steward was great but restaurant staff while very pleasant and friendly were slow.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

It was larger than we expected and very comfortable.

Ship tip

The food in the restaurant was excellent as was the food in the buffet. While the ship has a no reserved lounge chairs on the pool deck, if you want one you had better get there early and reserve one. They are all taken by 8 AM although very few people are occupying them.

Watch out for traffic. Although it is an American island, they drive like in England.

I'm sorry you felt that way. This was the first cruise my family and I had ever done and there was plenty of eating, relaxing, festivities, drinking, and shows to go to. We felt like there was so much going on that we could have done a better job of planning so we didn't mess anything. But overall this was the best vacation my family and I had ever taken. I totally recommend this ship and if you get the waiters Nicholas Haye and Oral Osborne you are in for a wonderful treat
