Review summary

Overall the ship was good. It was clean and well maintained. Service was great throughout. Loved st Maarten and labadee. San Juan and st kitts were just so so for me. I think food could use a little revamp. I’m sure it is hard to make that many meals at a time.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Pretty fast and seamless

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food was mediocre. It was nice to have 24 hour pizza but hardly no sauce on it. Did not go to any specialty restaurants. Main dining room service was great. Food just so so. Room service burger and quesadillas was probably the best food I had. Desserts were always good

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Ice and production shows were great! Didn’t go to the comedian but my mom said he was funny. Poolside dance classes and poolside movies were nice.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Very good shows

Children's Programs

3 out of 5

My son only went to the teen club in the beginning and he wasn’t impressed so he didn’t go back. It seemed they had a good amount of activities throughout the week. Maybe some workers to do fun games in the beginning to help them meet each other would be good

I love the promenade area. All the common areas were very well maintained

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

We had a promenade view interior. Things were a little tight but overall good cabin. Mirror in bathroom was showing signs of aging. Wish there were a few more drawers

Ship tip

Decide what you want to do early and bring a high liter to mark in the cruise compass. It is worth it to get up a little early and do the breakfast in the main dining room
